Quebec-Selected Skilled Worker

PERMANENT RESIDENCE – QUEBEC-SELECTED SKILLED WORKER

Quebec-selected skilled worker

This is the application process for skilled workers who want to become permanent residents of Canada and live in Quebec. Quebec has a special agreement on immigration with the Government of Canada. The province has its own rules for choosing immigrants who will adapt well to living there.

To immigrate to Canada as a Quebec-selected skilled worker, the candidate must apply in the following 2 stages:

1. Apply to the Government of Quebec for a Quebec Selection Certificate (Certificat de sélection du Québec [CSQ]).

• The Province of Quebec will assess the candidate, using its own rules.

• The certificate shows that the Province of Quebec has accepted them as an immigrant.

2. If the Province of Quebec chooses the candidate and gives them a CSQ, they must apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for permanent residence.
