Quebec-selected skilled workers

Sunday, February 28, 2010
Under the Canada-Quebec Accord on Immigration, Quebec establishes its own immigration requirements and selects immigrants who will adapt well to living in Quebec.

If you want to go to Quebec as a skilled worker, you must first follow a separate selection process before your application is finalised by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. To learn about that province’s requirements, visit Quebec’s immigration website.

When you are ready to apply for permanent residence, return to this section.

If you speak French, you should know that there are plenty of French-speaking communities outside Quebec that are also excited about welcoming you. If one of these places is right for you, find out whether you qualify under one of the categories under ‘Immigrate’ on the left-hand side of this page.

Working in Canada Tool

If you need help finding out what your occupation is called in Canada and what jobs are open across the country, you can use the Working in Canada Tool. It will give you a detailed labour market report that includes information on wages and job opportunities for your occupation and city where you would like to work.

This tool can help you prepare to work in Canada before you travel and after you arrive. You can find it in the “Learn About” section at the bottom of this page.
