Is Graduate Diploma Valid For PEQ Eligibility ?

Hi,

A Graduate diploma of 1 year (3 sem) is eligible for PEQ or not ? It is from a university and requires a bachelor degree for admission.

I just checked on the Quebec immigration website and I don't think it is. But maybe more senior members can chime in.

Nope. Not eligible.

Google "PEQ Eligible Degrees" and see the last section:

You are not eligible for the PEQ if:

1. you hold any other diploma than those cited above (e.g., Attestation of Vocational Studies, Attestation of College Studies, Graduate Diploma in Specialized Studies, post-doctorate);
2. you submit two diplomas of vocational studies (DEPs) for which the duration of each program is less than 1800 hours;
3. you submit a diploma of vocational studies (DEP - double program) for which the duration of each of these programs is less than 1800 hours;
4. you have not lived in Québec for at least half the duration of your study program.
