When it comes to immigration, a large number of immigrants get attracted to the province of Quebec. It is an amazing place for newcomers to live and work in Canada. As compared to other Canadian provinces, there are multiple things which have made this province stand out from the rest such as, the dominance of French language, separate immigration system, culture and more.

Quebec is the only Canadian province having French as its official language. More than 80% of its population is French-speaking, which made it the province with the largest francophone population across Canada as well as the continent of North America. So it generally gives higher priority to those individuals who are well-versed in communicating in French for immigration.

Next, to the official language, it has a separate immigration system. The Canada-Quebec-Accord agreement offers exclusive power to Quebec to choose immigrants from different parts of the world for its labor’s market. Its immigration streams for PR are linked neither to express entry program nor provincial nominee program. It has its set of rules and regulations for an immigration system which can be amended by the government of the province to meet the requirements of the province.

To immigrate to Quebec, the most suitable immigration pathway for applicants is the Quebec Skilled Worker Program. QSWP is a point-based immigration program which manages applications of skilled foreign workers for nominations for Canada PR visa. All interested applicants who have qualified the following eligibility criteria for QSWP need to submit Expression of Interest (EOI). Every application for QSWP undergoes two steps including, selection and admission. The province’s government or MIDI manages the process of selection, and the Federal government manages the process of admission.

In the process of selection, MIDI evaluates the applications for CSQ application based on the information regarding work experience, education, language proficiency and other selection factors. Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) is the mark of the acceptance of an individual’s immigration in the province.
