Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Government Refugees (Quebec) take right now?
As of July 7, 2026, IRCC reports a processing time of about 10 months for Government Refugees (Quebec) applications, with about 300 people waiting.
How is Quebec's refugee resettlement different?
Under the Canada–Quebec Accord, Quebec chooses the resettled refugees destined to the province and runs its own reception and integration services, while the federal government keeps responsibility for admissibility and final admission.
Do processing times differ from the rest of Canada?
They can, since Quebec's annual humanitarian admission targets and selection pace shape the queue. Compare this page with the rest-of-Canada GAR page to see the current difference.
