On Monday, October 1st, 2018, Canadian province Quebec chose a new government: the Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ) managed by Francois Legault, businessman, and politician. This current government will substitute the former Liberal Government and will begin a current path to immigration in Quebec.
Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ)
The CAQ is a comparatively new party, established by Legault in 2011. The party has ensured important investment in education, and a revamp of the healthcare system of Quebec. Joined with Legault’s business history, the party continues the business development opportunities in Quebec and a rise in the resources of the private sector.
Before this election, Quebec has been ruled by the Liberal Party for about 15 years. However, in the recent election, the Liberal Party got a historic low number of votes, giving over control of a majority government to the CAQ. As the CAQ obtains the power of their initial government, all eyes will be on Francois Legault to observe how he manages the difficulties of leading French-speaking province of Canada.
CAQ Approach Towards Immigration
The CAQ executed immigration a central issue while the campaign, declaring to cut immigration levels of Quebec by around 20% and redirecting those economic resources to assure bigger immigrant integration into the culture of Quebec.
