The Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) is an immigration pathway specifically for individuals who wish to settle in the province of Quebec, Canada, as skilled workers. Unlike other Canadian immigration programs, the Quebec provincial nominee program is managed by the government of Quebec, allowing the province to select candidates who have the skills, experience, and qualifications needed to contribute to Quebec's economy and society.

To qualify for the Quebec Skilled Worker Program, candidates must meet certain eligibility criteria set by the government of Quebec. These overall criteria typically include factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency in French or English, age, and adaptability. Candidates must also undergo a points-based assessment, where points are awarded based on various factors, and they must achieve a minimum score to be eligible for selection in terms of Canada Quebec skilled worker program.

Education: Applicants also need to have completed at least a diploma, certificate, or degree equivalent to a Quebec high school diploma. Additionally, applicants may be awarded points based on their level of education in terms of Canada Quebec skilled worker program.

Work Experience: Applicants may also need to have at least one year of full-time work experience or part-time equivalent in a skilled occupation within the last five years. The work experience must be in an occupation that is classified as Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations), Skill Level A (professional occupations), or Skill Level B (technical occupations and skilled trades) under the National Occupational Classification (NOC).

Language Proficiency: Applicants also demonstrate proficiency in French, which is the primary language of Quebec. This is typically assessed through language tests such as the Test d'évaluation du français pour le Canada (TEF Canada) or the Test de connaissance du français pour le Québec (TCF Quebec). Additionally, proficiency in English may also be beneficial but is not a mandatory requirement.

Stay in Quebec: Applicants should intend to settle in Quebec and have the intention to live and work in the province in terms of Canada Quebec skilled worker program.

Age: There is no specific age requirement for the QSWP, but points may be awarded based on the applicant's age in terms of Canada Quebec skilled worker program.

Apply for Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ): Apply to the Government of Quebec for a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ), which is a document issued by the province of Quebec indicating that you have been selected for immigration to Quebec. The CSQ is required to apply for permanent residence through the federal government's Express Entry system or the Quebec Skilled Worker Program stream.

Expression of Interest (EOI): In some cases, you may need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the province of Quebec. The EOI is a preliminary step where you express your interest in immigrating to Quebec and provide information about your skills, work experience, and other relevant details.

Apply for Permanent Residence: Once you have obtained a CSQ, you can apply for permanent residence through the federal government's Express Entry system (if applicable) or the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) stream associated with the Quebec Skilled Worker Program. Submit a complete application for permanent residence, including all required documents and fees.

Medical Examinations and Police Clearance: After submitting your application, you and your accompanying family members will be required to undergo medical examinations by designated panel physicians and obtain police clearance certificates from all countries where you have lived for six months or longer since the age of 18.
