Bill 9, entitled Loi visant à accroître la
prospérité socio-économique du Québec
et à répondre adéquatement aux besoins du
marché du travail par une intégration réussie
des personnes immigrantes (Bill 9), was passed by
l'Assemblée nationale du Québec on June 16,
2019.
The passage of Bill 9 will have significant repercussions for
all foreign nationals who have applied or intend to apply for
permanent residence status in the province of Québec. The
primary goal of Bill 9 is to select immigrants to more effectively
address Québec's unique labour market needs. Not only
will Bill 9 affect over 50,000 individual applicants, it will
dramatically impact their prospective employers, many of whom are
desperately seeking to hire highly-skilled foreign nationals.
