Developed by the Government of Quebec and the Canadian Federal Government, the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) enables highly educated and trained foreign nationals to immigrate to Quebec as skilled workers. Interested candidates who apply to the Program are evaluated according to a specified number of factors and applicants who score enough points are given a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) which can be used to apply for Canadian permanent residency.
Eligibility
Eligibility for the QSWP is determined by nine selection factors. QSWP points are awarded according to these Immigration Quebec selection criteria in order to identify which candidates are most likely to flourish economically once in the region.
To qualify for immigration to Canada as a Quebec-selected skilled worker, a single applicant must score at least 50 points and those who apply with a spouse or a common-law partner must score at least 59 points in order to be eligible.
The 9 Selection factors are:
Training (Education + Area of Training)
Work Experience
Age
Language Proficiency
Quebec Connection
Characteristics of Spouse
Validated Job Offer
Accompanying Children
Financial Self-sufficiency
The new Quebec immigration rules for skilled workers favor potential candidates who have been trained in a "preferred area" or who have a validated offer of employment in the province.
Requirement for French
Immigration to Quebec without speaking French is possible through the QSW Program provided an applicant is awarded enough points from other categories of the selection grid to attain a passing score. French language proficiency is worth up to 16 points. Even if you are excellent at English, you will need to be very competitive in other categories to exceed the pass mark if you do not understand or speak French.
PR Rules & Process
The entire immigration process is assessment based and only qualified individuals will be invited to settle in the province as a permanent worker.
To obtain PR in Quebec you first have to procure a CSQ and then apply to become a Canadian permanent resident.
