What is the Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program?

Quebec’s skilled worker program is for skilled workers who are more likely to find work in Quebec. It is popular among skilled workers and international graduates who want to immigrate there permanently.

Candidates that have been invited to apply for a permanent position have a maximum of 60 days to submit their applications and pay processing fees. Quebec expects to process the applications within 6 months of receiving all required information.. This includes all forms and documents.

Québec Selection Certificates will be awarded to qualified candidates. They can then use this document to apply to the Canadian federal government for permanent residence.

Applicants to settle in Quebec are assessed differently to those who want to settle elsewhere in Canada. Quebec’s immigration programmes are distinct from Canada’s federal programmes and are managed by the province
