In Canada, the provincial government of Quebec has just announced, without prior warning, a freeze on permanent immigration. Two main programs are affected: the Regular Skilled Worker Program (PRTQ) and the graduate component of the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ).

FRANCE 24's Francois Rihouay and Joanne Profeta report, with Fraser Jackson.
