Quebec-selected skilled workers
Immigrate as a skilled worker in the province of Quebec
Quebec has a special agreement on immigration with the Government of Canada. The province has its own rules for choosing immigrants who will adapt well to living there
To immigrate to Canada as a Quebec-selected skilled worker, you must apply in the following 2 stages:
01.
Apply to the Government of Quebec for a Quebec Selection Certificate (Certificat de sélection du Québec [CSQ]).
The Province of Quebec will assess you, using its own rules.
The certificate shows that the Province of Quebec has accepted you as an immigrant.
02.
If the Province of Quebec chooses you and gives you a CSQ, you must apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for permanent residence.
Quebec is the only province in Canada whose only official language is French. As such a proficiency in French language is an asset for potential immigrants. However there are pathways for non-French speaking individuals to immigrate.
Newcomers who have the ability to contribute to the growing economy of Canada may present themselves as the best candidates for application. If you are successful in your immigration application, then a Canadian Immigration Visa for Permanent Residency will be awarded to you.
