Quebec immigration program
Quebec is the only province in Canada that has complete control over selection of its immigrants. Federal government is responsible for security and health issues but will not intervene with Quebec once it issued Certificate of Selection to a prospective immigrant.
Quebec is a French speaking province. Its government is interested in French speaking immigrants and while fluent French is not prerequisite of acceptance, your efforts to learn French can go a long way when you attend selection interview.
Quebec has various programs under which you can apply for permanent residence, including skilled workers, investor, entrepreneur, self-employed category. Under all categories, you will first have to apply for selection certificate before you can apply for permanent residence in Canada. Quebec also levies fees for assessment of your application for selection certificate.
The major difference between federal programs and Quebec programs for skilled workers is that Quebec requires less experience, no language testing, and requires settlement funds for 3 months as opposed 6 months required by federal programs.
To find out whether you could qualify for any of the Quebec programs, please send us your detailed resume or fill out our free assessment form.
