QUEBEC IMMIGRATION
The Quebec Government is the only provincial government in Canada that select its own independent immigrants and refugees abroad who are
destined for Quebec.
The Canada-Quebec Accord, the most comprehensive agreement to date, gives Quebec sole responsibility for selecting independent
immigrants and refugees abroad who are destined for Quebec. It also allows Quebec to provide its own reception and integration
services-linguistic, cultural and economic for permanent residents of the province. Federally, Canada maintains responsibility for defining
general immigrant categories, setting levels for admitting person to Canada and enforcement.
Due to Quebec's responsibilities in immigration, as defined in the Canada-Quebec Accord, persons destined for this province may have to
meet different requirements.
Selection of immigrants: Quebec has the exclusive selection responsibility for all independent immigrants and refugees abroad who are
destined for Quebec. Those selected by the province will receive a document called
"Certificat de selection du Quebec (CSQ)". The federal government ensures that statuary admission requirements, such as medical and criminal checks, are met before it issues a visa.
Quebec Immigration: Selection criteria for Independent Immigrants
Most independent immigrants are skilled workers, who are expected to have the skills, education, work experience, language ability and other
qualities needed to participate in the Quebec labour market.
