What are the steps to immigrating to Quebec?

Immigrants are drawn to Canada’s provinces and territories to fill labor shortages. This is to aid Canada’s economic development. Quebec is no different.

Quebec has its own immigration system in addition to Express Entry, which is different from Canada’s federal system.

Skilled employees with a desire to stay in Quebec permanently may have a few possibilities. They could apply for the Quebec Skilled Worker Program to immigrate to Canada (QSWP). This immigration category is for immigrants who are likely to become economically established in Quebec.

Those who are chosen are issued a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ), which they can use to apply for permanent residence directly with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada, Canada’s federal immigration department (IRCC).

The Quebec Experience Program is another possibility (PEQ). Candidates who have previously studied or worked in Quebec on a temporary basis are eligible for this program.
