Any citizen can nominate an individual for appointment to (or promotion within) the Ordre national du Québec.
Every year, usually in September (and October), a public call for nominations is published in Québec daily and weekly newspapers and on the Web.
Divided into three ranks, Grand Officer, Officer and Knight, the Ordre national du Québec is the highest honour bestowed by the Québec government. Its prestige is incomparable.
Eligibility for induction into the Ordre or promotion within it is open to anyone born or resident in Québec, apart from members of the National Assembly.
The calendar is generally as follows:
| Publication of call for nominations: | September |
| Deadline for receiving files: | Late October or early November (depending on the calendar) |
The 2024 call for nominations has closed.
The next call for nominations will take place from September 3 to October 25, 2024 for 2025 nominations.
Anyone who would like to make a nomination must complete the form provided for this purpose. This form is online only during the call for applications period.
