Quebec-selected skilled workers must apply in two stages.
You must first apply to the Quebec government for a certificate of selection (Certificat de sélection du Québec). This is the official document that shows that the Government of Quebec has accepted you to that province. Visit the website of the Quebec ministry that handles immigration for more information on how to obtain a certificate. You will find a link in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
After you have been selected by Quebec, you have to make a separate application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for permanent residence.
This is the second and final stage. Here, you will have to pass a medical examination, security and criminal checks. CIC conducts these checks for all immigrants, wherever they intend to move in Canada. You can find more information on both of these topics in the I Need To… section on the right-hand side of this page.
You must also show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family after you arrive in Canada. You can find more information on the funds you will need in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
Quebec-selected skilled workers are not assessed on the six selection factors of the Federal Skilled Workers Program.
