Quebec stands second among the most popular provinces in Canada after Ontario and is among the 10 provinces of the nation. Most of the population in Quebec speaks in French as it is the only official language in this province. Quebec is known to have an open, market-oriented and advanced economy. The province has witnessed a great change in economy over the past decade with a solid base in knowledge. It holds one of the highest GDP growth rates in Canada.
To stay ahead in the growing economy, the province of Quebec must meet the needs of skilled workers in the job market. By having a special agreement with IRCC, Quebec nominates the qualified immigrants with required work experience and skills to live and work as a permanent resident in the province. Quebec Skilled Worker Program is the pathway to get immigration for those candidates.
What is the Quebec Skilled Worker Program?
The Quebec Skilled Worker Program is a PNP program which allows skilled immigrants to work and live in the province and gain permanent residency over there. Thanks to the special agreement with Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada, provinces can choose immigrants to adapt to live in the province well.
In order to apply for permanent residency in Quebec, you need to undergo two stages –
Apply to the Quebec provincial government which issues the Quebec Selection Certificate or CSQ. Province selects its permanent residency holder in the province with this certificate.
Candidates should apply to IRCC for a Canada PR visa with a CSQ certificate after that.
Eligibility Criteria
In order to gain permanent residency in the province, you should first get a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ). The Quebec PNP program is based on points as part of the Express Entry Program by the federal government. They nominate only highly skilled immigrants who they think will help in the economic growth of the province.
Minimum 50 points must be scored by an applicant according to this system. Minimum 59 points must be scored by an applicant having a common law partner or spouse. Applicants can be awarded with these points on the basis of credentials they submit. Here are the selection factors and maximum points for Quebec PNP program in 2021 –
Academic Qualification – 14
Training – 12
Valid job offer – 10
Work Experience – 8
Language Proficiency – 22
Age – 16
Common-law partner/spouse – 17

Note- It is very vital to score 1 point in the selection factor of financial stability. This way, provinces can be assured that a candidate can financially help both his family, himself and any family member accompanying him when moving to Canada.
