Foreign workers who want to settle as permanent residents in the Canadian province of Quebec may be eligible for immigration to Quebec through the Quebec Skilled Worker Program.

The Quebec Skilled Worker Program is a points-based initiative, operated separately from the government of Canada’s own programs for skilled workers. Successful applicants may bring accompanying family members to Quebec, and a job offer is not required.

Cap-exempt Quebec Skilled Worker applicants

Individuals with a validated job offer in Quebec, as well as temporary residents entitled to submit an application for a CSQ, may submit an application at any time, outside the regular intake limit.

It may also be possible to submit an application under the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), with expedited processing times at the CSQ application stage. It should be noted that French proficiency is required under the PEQ.

Quebec Skilled Worker requirements

The Quebec Skilled Worker Program is more complex than many other Canadian immigration programs. There are different eligibility thresholds for single applicants as opposed to applicants with an accompanying spouse or common-law partner, and all applicants have to pass two points thresholds in order to be considered eligible.

As of January 1, 2020, all applicants for permanent residence through Quebec immigration programs are required to show they understand Quebec values. This can be done by passing a Quebec values test or completing a course in Quebec values.

Lets first consider single applicants.

Single applicants

Single applicants first have to accrue at least 43 points (out of 99) across the following factors: education level, specific area of training, age, French ability, English ability, connections to Quebec through previous visits and/or family, and whether or not they have a validated job offer from an employer in Quebec.

Education and training (maximum 20 points for both, minimum 2 points required for education level)

Education level: up to 14 points

Area of training: up to 12 points

Areas of Training: Section A

Principal applicant: 12 points
Spouse or common-law partner: 4 points

Applicants with a spouse/common-law partner

Applicants with an accompanying spouse or common-law partner have to accumulate 52 points for the first threshold. Though this may seem like a higher threshold, and therefore seemingly more difficult, these applicants can also obtain up to 17 points for the spouse or partner’s factors, in addition to the first set of factors above. So whereas single applicants have to accumulate at least 43 points out of a possible 99 in order to pass the first threshold, applicants with an accompanying spouse or common-law partner have to obtain at least 52 points out of 116.

Spouse/partner education: up to 4 points

Spouse/partner area of training: up to 4 points

Spouse/partner age: up to 3 points

Spouse/partner French ability: up to 6 points

Secondary points threshold

Single applicants who can accumulate at least 43 points from among the above factors must then take into account the number of accompanying children they have, as well as their financial capacity, and all together reach at least 50 points across all factors.

Applicants with an accompanying spouse or common-law partner who can accumulate at least 52 points from among the above factors must then take into account the number of accompanying children they have, as well as their financial capacity, and all together reach at least 59 points across all factors.

Accompanying children: up to 8 points

Financial self-sufficiecny: 1 point

Only one point is awarded for financial self-sufficiency. However, this is an essential requirement; applicants who do not satisfy this requirement will have their application rejection, even if they otherwise satisfy the overall points requirements. It should be noted that the figures below do not denote fees. Rather, this is the minimum funds applicants must possess for settlement purposes.

Criteria	Points
Making of a contract	1
Maximum	1 point

To find out the minimum funds requirement for your application, see the tables below.

Applicants with no children

Situation	Amount in $ CAD
1 adult (principal applicant)	$3,188

Applying to the Quebec Skilled Worker program

If you meet the eligibility criteria outlined above, you become eligible to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the online Arrima platform for the Quebec Skilled Worker program.

Unfortunately, submitting an EOI does not guarantee you will get to submit an application for permanent residence. This is because QSW uses a points-based ranking system to rank all eligible candidates based on their EOIs. This is a completely different points system from the points used above to assess eligibility.

Periodically, Quebec will invite candidates who have high scores to apply for permanent residence. If you don’t receive an invitation, you can’t apply.

So, how does the Quebec Skilled Worker Expression of Interest points system work?

The Quebec Skilled Worker Expression of Interest points system assigns every eligible candidate a score out of 1,300 points. If you want to learn more about how these points are assigned, visit our page on the Quebec Skilled Worker Expression of Interest points grid.
