Overview
The Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) is a points-based immigration pathway for skilled individuals who want to live and work in Quebec. Selection is managed by Quebec, and successful candidates receive a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) before applying for permanent residence to the federal government.

QSWP may suit you if you:
- Have education, skills, and work experience relevant to Quebec’s labour market

Key features

- Selection focuses on factors such as education, work experience, language ability (French and/or English), age, and adaptability
- Two-stage process: CSQ → Federal PR application
Typical supporting documents (examples)
