Overview of Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program
The RSWP in Quebec offers a coveted route for those aspiring to make Quebec, Canada, their home. It targets professionals eager to add value to Quebec's cultural and economic landscape.
The assessment hinges on the Quebec points calculator, evaluating aspects like education, professional history, language skills (in both French and English), age, among other factors. A specific score threshold must be met.
A unique element of this program is the obligation to express a commitment to reside and work within Quebec. This involves signing a "Declaration of Interest" (DI) with the local government. Successful DI respondents are then invited to apply for permanent residency. Following receipt of an Invitation to Apply (ITA), candidates are required to provide a full application, inclusive of all necessary documents and applicable fees.
As a province with its own jurisdiction over immigration, Quebec maintains an independent selection procedure, divergent from Canada's federal system. This autonomy enables the province to choose individuals who align with its societal and economic aspirations.
