Does a course-based Masters program (that doesn't have a thesis) qualify for PEQ?

Hello all!

I'm interested in pursuing a course-based Master's degree in CS in Québec (http://www.concordia.ca/academics/graduate/computer-science-mcompsci-applied.html) and eventually settling there.

I've just read about PEQ and from my understanding if I successfully completed a master's degree in Québec in any language and can prove my proficiency in French, I am eligible to apply for PEQ (Programme de l'Expérience Québécoise) to directly get a PR.

However, in the papers to apply for PEQ as a Québec graduate (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/publications/fr/peq/Immigration-Quebec_A0520GF.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiI-bXVvrLoAhUxQkEAHTGwCSgQFjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw3vNJg1O4RygNPqI8xt9wdl) when one chooses the masters option (at page 9), you have to write the title of your thesis and there's no option to say that it's a course-based masters.

So my question is, do course-based masters degrees make you eligible for PEQ or is it only thesis-based masters degrees?

Thanks!
