Applicants are evaluated through the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) based on age, education, work experience, language ability, and other factors.

Benefits of Express Entry

• Online & Streamlined – Applications are handled digitally, improving speed and accessibility.

Quebec's Distinct Immigration System

Quebec's immigration process is typically a two-step approach for most economic programs:

1. Selection by Quebec: Candidates first apply to the Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) for a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ). This document certifies that Quebec has assessed you as a suitable candidate for immigration.

2. Admission by Canada: Once you receive a CSQ, you then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residence. IRCC conducts federal admissibility checks (criminality, security, medical).

Key Quebec Immigration Programs

Quebec offers several programs designed to attract immigrants who can contribute to the province's economic and cultural vitality:

• Quebec Skilled Worker Program (Programme régulier des travailleurs qualifiés - PRTQ):

  For skilled workers selected based on factors like education, training, work experience, age, and language proficiency (with a strong emphasis on French).

  Our Role: We help assess your eligibility, maximize your score, and guide you through the Arrima portal and CSQ application.

• Quebec Experience Program (Programme de l’expérience québécoise - PEQ):

  A fast-track program for temporary foreign workers and international students who have recent skilled work experience or completed a degree/diploma in Quebec, and demonstrate intermediate-advanced French proficiency.

  Our Role: We ensure you meet all PEQ criteria, prepare your application, and navigate the specific PEQ requirements effectively.

• Quebec Entrepreneur Program:

  For individuals with the intention and ability to create or acquire a business in Quebec. This program has streams for starting a new business or acquiring an existing one.

  Our Role: We assist in developing a robust business plan that meets MIFI's stringent requirements, guide you through the investment process, and prepare your application.

• Quebec Self-Employed Worker Program:

  For individuals who intend to create their own job by practicing a profession or trade on their own account in Quebec.

  Our Role: We help you showcase your professional qualifications and your capacity to successfully establish yourself as a self-employed worker in Quebec.

• Quebec Investor Program:

  (Note: This program is currently paused or undergoing significant changes. It's crucial to confirm its active status before promoting heavily.) Historically, for individuals willing to make a passive investment in Quebec.

  Our Role: If and when active, we provide comprehensive guidance on meeting the investment and other criteria.

• Family Sponsorship (Quebec Specifics):

  While Family Sponsorship is primarily a federal program, certain categories (like undertaking duration for some) have specific nuances when the sponsor resides in Quebec.
