Quebec has a unique immigration system — it selects its own economic immigrants through its own programs. A Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) is your first step.
Quebec is unique in Canada — it has an agreement with the federal government (the Canada-Quebec Accord) that gives it the exclusive power to select economic immigrants destined for the province. Quebec issues its own Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ), after which you apply to the federal government for permanent residence.
French language proficiency is a key factor in Quebec immigration selection. Whether you are an experienced worker, a recent graduate, or an entrepreneur, Quebec offers dedicated pathways for you. Our bilingual consultants understand the Quebec immigration system inside out and will guide you through every step.
French skills significantly improve your chances of selection.
Obtain a Quebec Selection Certificate before applying for federal PR.
Quebec uses its own points grid and EOI system, separate from Express Entry.
The Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) selects foreign nationals who want to settle in Quebec permanently and have the ability to successfully establish themselves economically. Quebec uses its own points-based selection grid (Grille de sélection).
The Quebec Experience Program (Programme de l'expérience québécoise / PEQ) offers a fast-track to Quebec permanent residency for temporary foreign workers and international graduates who have already integrated into Quebec society and the labour market.
Quebec uses an Expression of Interest (EOI) system similar to Express Entry at the federal level. Candidates submit an expression of interest and are ranked. Quebec then invites the highest-ranking candidates to apply for a CSQ through regular selection rounds.
Quebec occasionally launches pilot programs to address specific labour market shortages or to attract candidates with particular skills. These pilots may target specific regions, sectors, or occupations and can provide an alternative pathway to a CSQ.
Each year, Quebec publishes its Immigration Levels Plan, which outlines the number of immigrants it plans to welcome and the distribution across economic, family, and humanitarian categories. Understanding this plan helps candidates predict draw volumes and timelines.
