Quebec’s Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration has imposed a cap on family sponsorship applications from June 26, 2024, to June 25, 2026.

The cap limits applications to 13,000:

  • 10,400 for spouses, common-law partners, and dependent children aged 18+.
  • 2,600 for parents, grandparents, and other eligible relatives.

Exemptions apply to:

  • Dependent minor children.
  • Minor children for adoption.
  • Orphaned minor children of siblings or grandchildren.
  • Dependent adult children with disabilities.

Once the cap is reached, no further applications will be accepted, and non-exempt applications will be returned.
