Québec-Selected Skilled Worker Program

Québec has a unique immigration system tailored for skilled workers who wish to become permanent residents of Canada and settle in the province. The Québec-Selected Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) allows individuals with a specific set of education, work experience, and French language proficiency to apply for permanent residence in Canada through a two-step process.

At Zohil-Morton Law, we provide legal support for applicants navigating Québec’s immigration system, ensuring compliance with both provincial and federal immigration requirements, guiding individuals through every step of the process.

Who Can Apply for the Québec-Selected Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)?

The QSWP is designed for skilled workers who meet Québec’s selection criteria. An individual may be eligible to apply for Canadian permanent residence under this stream if they:

• Have a Québec Selection Certificate (Certificate de Sélection du Québec) from the Government of Québec; and,
• Submit a complete permanent residence application.

Québec Immigration Process

The process for applying for permanent residence under the Québec-Selected Skilled Worker Program requires approval from both the provincial and federal governments. Provincially, the following steps must be taken before submitting a federal permanent residence application through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC):

• Submit your declaration of interest (DOI) in immigrating to Québec;
• Receive a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ), if selected.

Certificat de Sélection du Québec (CSQ)

The CSQ is an official document issued by the government of Québec. It confirms that an application has been assessed based on Québec’s selection criteria, and has been accepted for immigration to Québec.
