Quebec Skilled Worker Program
Quebec is Canada’s second most-populous province, and it’s also a French-speaking economic and cultural hub. This metro area is especially popular with immigrants from India and Asia. It’s important to understand that Quebec has its own distinct immigration programs, with separate criteria from the federal Express Entry program.
Overview of Quebec Skilled Worker Program
The main advantage of immigrating to Quebec is this province offers applicants multiple pathways to achieve a permanent visa. The Quebec Skilled Worker (QSW) program is the most popular visa for experienced workers with specialized professional skills.
QSW offers a quick, low-cost pathway for immigration to Canada. Since this Quebec program operates outside the federal Express Entry program, it’s an additional pathway to obtain Canadian permanent residence visas.
Mon Projet Quebec
In Quebec all immigration applications are made through Mon Projet Quebec. Like the federal Express Entry system, Quebec’s system supports secure online applications for immigration to Quebec, and also grades applicants on a point-based system. Chosen applicants are approved for immigration and given a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ).
