Quebec Selection Certificate is issued to applicants by the government if they are allotted permanent residency through the Quebec Skilled Worker Program. Such candidates are eligible to send direct application for Canadian permanent residency to the federal government or the IRCC.
Based on the recent immigration plan in Quebec, skilled workers top the shortlist and they will be offered invitations to become permanent residents of Quebec. According to the new immigration plan, 29,000 CSQ or Quebec Selection Certificates are to be issued to skilled workers this year.
Skilled worker category has two basic streams which are as follows.
- Quebec experience program
- Regular skilled worker program
Quebec government has made an official announcement wherein 5000 new applications will be accepted through the regular skilled worker program by the province of Quebec.
Business immigration program is another immigration plan devised by the province of Quebec. Under this program certificates will be issued to self employed, entrepreneurs, investors and so forth. It is assumed that the Quebec government will issue 4000-6000 certificates under this program in 2018.
With all these plans underway, the government has issued no specific dates for the implementation of the new immigration plans. Most of the applicants are hopeful of the developments and expecting results by the first quarter of 2018.
