Significant Changes To Quebec Skilled Worker Immigration Selection System

The Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) is a Canadian Immigration Program aimed at selecting newcomers who are likely to become economically established upon their arrival in the province of Quebec. To be eligible to apply under this Program an applicant needs to obtain a Quebec Selection Certificate / certificat de selection du Québec (CSQ) from the government of Quebec. Currently, the application intake has commenced from January 18, 2016 and will run up to March 31, 2016 accepting a maximum of 2800 applications.

To manage this process more efficiently, the Quebec Government has incorporated two changes namely, launched the 'Mon projet Québec' online application management system on January 5, 2016 and also made the criteria for area of training far less onerous than it was earlier w.e.f. December 31, 2015.
