Overview
Quebec, as a large province in Canada, operates its own provincial nominee system known as the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP). This program aims to attract skilled and experienced professionals from around the world to begin a new life in one of Canada's most promising regions.
Eligibility for Quebec Immigration is determined by evaluating candidates based on a selection grid of nine factors, including age, education, work experience, and fluency in English and French. Candidates with the highest points are selected for the Quebec Skilled Workers program through a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ), which can later be converted into permanent residence by applying to the Government of Canada.
Who Can Apply

How Long it Takes
Processing of CSQ takes approximately 24 to 36 months, and the Permanent Residency application takes 8 to 12 months.
