Graduating soon, can I apply CSQ before getting PGWP?

[Lok127]

Hello there1 I am an international student who will be graduating this Decembe, and I am interested in staying in Quebec after my graduation. I was wondering if I could apply the CSQ (PEQ) before getting PGWP? or I have to get my PGWP first before applying CSQ. Thanks.

You don't need to have the PGWP to apply for the CSQ through the PEQ-Students.

Read the form to apply for the CSQ through the PEQ-Students and you will find your answer.

Aeya is spot-on.

Graduating in December, would you have your diploma/degree before 31st December to apply under PEQ-Student category? I am not sure if MIFI accepts letter of completion instead.

A letter of completion is always accepted.
