The Quebec government and the Government
of Canada have an agreement that allows Quebec to select
immigrants who best meet its immigration needs. Under the
Canada-Quebec Accord on Immigration, Quebec is able to
establish its own immigration requirements and select
immigrants who will adapt well to living in
Quebec.
To come to Canada as a Quebec skilled
worker, you must first apply to the Quebec government for a
Certificat de sélection du Québec.
Visit the Quebec Immigration Web site for more
information.
Note: After you have
been selected by Quebec, you have to make a separate
application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for
permanent residence. A CIC officer will assess your
application based on Canadian immigration
regulations.
Quebec skilled workers
are not assessed on the six selection
factors of the Federal Skilled Workers
Program.
