The Quebec Skilled Worker (QSW) program makes use of an Expression of Interest
(EOI) system for applicants’ selection. The applicants with the highest scores on the
QSW points grid will be the ONLY ones invited to submit applications to Quebec.
How Does The Program Work?
- You do NOT need a job offer
- You can apply from any part of the world (even if you are working overseas)
- You do NOT need to demonstrate any settlement funds
- You will receive Canadian Permanent Residence at the end, which is the equivalent of a US Green Card
- The processing time should be between 14-18 months and the program reopens later in 2015
WHY NOT EXPRESS ENTRY?
With the much buzz about Express Entry, we want you to know that Quebec remains
a great option for you and your family. When you apply under the QSW program, you
do not need to demonstrate any settlement funds to the government, which is unlike
the Express Entry. In fact, IELTS can be sent many months after you have submitted
your file. In other words, you do not need to delay your application because of your
IELTS exam.
Furthermore, the Quebec program is more flexible in terms of the type of language
test you can't take, and there are no minimum scores needed to apply as you have with
the Express Entry. Please keep in mind that the Quebec Skilled Worker program is
still a point-based system, and you must make enough points to apply. A high score
on your language tests will increase the likelihood of your scores being sufficient.
WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
Firstly, you have to take our free online assessment to ascertain your options. Because
many types of applicants and occupations are eligible, you cannot determine your
chances until you have been assessed by a professional.
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?
Generally, the requirements of the initial submission to the QSW program are:
- Identity documents like birth certificates, and a marriage certificate if you are married
- Travel documents, which is valid and up-to-date passport copies and copies of residence visas if you are not in your country of citizenship
- Educational documents: Transcripts and diplomas
- Some employment documents might be required to be provided initially but that will be dependent on your qualifications.
Although you do not need language test results to apply at the initial stage, you should
note that you will need them eventually in order to get your visa.
Immigration Quebec will accept academic results and general IELTS result to
demonstrate your English language proficiency. If you are a French speaker, you can
take the TEF or DELF examination.
