The Province of Quebec is responsible for selecting its own Skilled Workers under the Canada-Quebec Accord. Immigrants selected under the Canada-Quebec Accord receive a Certificate of Selection of Quebec – the official immigration document issued by the Government of Quebec - and are given priority processing over other economic immigrants, such as Federal skilled workers.

To determine your eligibility to apply for a certificate of selection of Quebec under the “Quebec Skilled Worker” category, you will be assessed based on ten (10) selection factors - set in place to evaluate your likelihood and ability to become economically established in the province of Quebec.

The Quebec Skilled Worker selection factors are:

• Education and Field of Study
• Work experience
• Age
• Language proficiency (adequate knowledge of French and English)
• Visits to Quebec (work, study or visits) and Family in Quebec
• Spouse’s profile (education, work experience and language proficiency)
• Arranged employment in Quebec (valid employment offer)
• Number of Children
• Ability to support yourself (and your dependants) financially
• Adaptability (your knowledge of Quebec and the preparation of your immigration project)

To be issued a Certificate of Selection of Quebec, you must:

• obtain at least 59 points (if you are single) or 68 points (if you are married or in a common-law relationship) on the Quebec Selection grid;
• successfully pass a selection interview with an immigration officer (or be exempted thereof).

To be issued a permanent resident visa from Immigration Canada, you must:

• submit the Certificate of Selection of Quebec - issued by the Government of Quebec - with your application for permanent residence to the Canadian Embassy serving your country of nationality or current place of residence;
• pass a medical examination and security/criminal background checks.
