One of Québec’s most important gatherings for immigrants and newcomers is returning this spring — and admission is completely free.
The Salon de l’immigration et de l’intégration au Québec (SIIQ Printemps) takes place on May 27 and 28, 2026, at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal (accessible via Métro Place-d’Armes). This biannual event brings together service providers, employers, government agencies, community organizations, and immigrant entrepreneurs under one roof to help newcomers find their footing in Québec.
What You’ll Find at SIIQ 2026
The event covers a wide range of topics central to the immigrant experience in Québec:
Training & Education — Discover academic programs, professional retraining options, and credential recognition pathways designed for internationally trained newcomers.
Recruitment & Interviews — Connect directly with employers who are actively hiring immigrants, and learn how to position yourself in the Québec job market.
Life in the Regions — One of SIIQ’s most valuable features is its emphasis on settlement outside of Montreal, showcasing quality-of-life advantages and job opportunities in smaller Québec cities and towns.
Installation & Settlement — Get practical guidance on housing, administrative steps, school enrollment, and community integration services.
Entrepreneurship — Resources and expert advice for immigrants who want to start or grow their own business in Québec.

It is free. It is bilingual. It is comprehensive. And it is specifically designed for people like you.
