Can I send my request for review by email?

Short answer
No. The Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Francisation et de l'Intégration (Quebec's immigration ministry) specifies that the request for review must be sent by mail to the Service de réexamen administratif, and that requests sent by email, by fax or by telephone are refused.
In detail
The address given by the ministry is that of the Service de réexamen administratif, Direction du regroupement familial et de l'enregistrement, 1200, boulevard Saint-Laurent, bureau 208, Montréal (Québec) H2X 0C9.
The official “Demande de réexamen” form must be included with the mailing, completed and signed. A request that is incomplete or out of time may result in a letter stating that the ministry will not process the file.
Since the request has to go by mail and the deadline is calculated on receipt, it is best to keep a complete copy of everything you mail, along with proof of mailing.
What to document
A complete copy of what you sent (signed form, cover letter, enclosures), the date you mailed it, the tracking number, and the ministry's acknowledgment of receipt once it arrives.

What this page is not
This is general legal information about the law of Quebec and Canada, dated and sourced. It is not legal advice, not a strategy, and not a prediction about the outcome of a case. In Quebec, only lawyers and notaries may give legal advice (Act respecting the Barreau du Québec, ss. 128 and 133). Laws and amounts change: the official source always prevails over us.
