Quebec, the francophone Canadian province, has created its own immigration programs to attract the most suitable professionals for its labour market:
The candidate must first be selected by the province and obtain a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) from the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI). Then, the candidate must apply through Immigration Canada (IRCC), which will check on medical, security, and criminality factors.
There are two main economic programs for skilled workers that intend to immigrate to Quebec:
Quebec Experience Class (Programme de l’Expérience Quebecoise, also known as PEQ).
Quebec Skilled Worker Program (Programme régulier des travailleurs qualifiés).
