Suspended doesn't mean it's cancelled. CAQ govt. is revamping their immigration policies. So far it seems they favor culturally fit Francophones from Europe than any other merit. They also have policies (Bill 21 & Bill 9) in place to discourage immigration from Francafrique countries.

I am sorry to say this but, IMO I feel like CAQ govt. is trying to cherry pick white French immigrants to keep Québec white. Everyone can argue that it's not the case, but they are implementing this system piece by piece over the years. The immigration system of Québec has removed 'D' Diversity from its name. MIDI => MIFI

Even french white immigrants are rejected for no good reason. https://nationalpost.com/news/french-national-denied-quebec-...

The CAQ is very anti-immigration on all fronts.

It was a case of an over zealous employee following rules. That individual was lucky that she is white & French. She has also friends in Montreal CBC media. Hence the outcry."How dare you reject one of us"

There are many unlike her, who is not white & French whose applications got rejected in Québec immigration department's cherry picking. We will never hear their story.

The CAQ is pandering to its 37% of voters. Makes one wonder whether rest of Canada is ok with this openly racist policies of a provincial govt.
