The most recent QSWP application cycle in 2014 with an intake of 6,500 applications. This cap was reached within four months and that is when it was closed.

The Quebec program features more than 75 eligible occupations and areas of training that will enable applicants to qualify for a Quebec Certificate of Selection (CSQ), without a job offer.
