Canada Express Entry

What is the Quebec Skilled Worker Program?

The Quebec Selected Skilled Workers Program (QSWP) is an immigration program managed by the province of Quebec. Unlike other provinces, Quebec has its own selection process and criteria for skilled workers, independent from the federal Express Entry system.

The QSWP is designed to attract skilled individuals who can contribute to Quebec’s labour market and integrate into its society. The program evaluates candidates based on a points-based selection grid, taking into account factors like education, work experience, age, language skills (primarily French), and other personal characteristics.

Why Choose the Quebec Skilled Worker Program?

• No Job Offer Required: Unlike many Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), QSWP does not require a valid job offer, making it ideal for individuals seeking to move to Canada without prior employment.
• Pathway to Permanent Residency: Once selected by Quebec, you receive a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ). With this, you can apply to the federal government for Canadian permanent residence.
• Opportunities in a Strong Economy: Quebec has a growing demand for skilled workers across various sectors like information technology, healthcare, engineering, construction, and education.
• Unique French-Canadian Lifestyle: Quebec offers a distinctive cultural experience, with a strong emphasis on arts, history, and community living, especially in cities like Montreal, Quebec City, and Laval.

Eligibility Criteria

The QSWP uses a selection grid with factors including:

• Education and qualifications
• Relevant work experience
• Age
• Proficiency in French and/or English
• Adaptability
• Accompanying spouse’s qualifications
• Number of dependent children

Candidates must score above a set threshold to be eligible for selection.
