The majority of admissions will come through Quebec’s economic immigration programs, including the province’s popular Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP).<\/p>\n
Admissions through economic immigration programs, which consist of\u00a0skilled\u00a0workers, businesspeople and their\u00a0family members, will make up nearly 59 per cent of total admission in 2019.<\/p>\n
This percentage represents 23,450 admission targets for economic immigration programs,\u00a0with skilled workers representing\u00a019,500 of projected arrivals in 2019.<\/p>\n
The Quebec Ministry of Immigration also aims to issue up to 24,800 Quebec Selection Certificate, or\u00a0certificat de s\u00e9lection du Qu\u00e9bec<\/em> (CSQs)\u00a0in 2019.<\/p>\n With a CSQ, newcomers to Canada can apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for a permanent residence visa.<\/p>\n Under Quebec’s 2019 Immigration plan, the majority of CSQs, up to 15,000, will be issued to skilled workers and the second highest category of selections,\u00a05,500, will go to state-assisted refugees and sponsored refugees.<\/p>\n Economic immigration to Quebec is possible under the\u00a0QSWP, also known as the\u00a0Regular Skilled Worker Program, and the Quebec Experience Class (PEQ).<\/p>\n The QSWP is designed for newcomers who meet a points threshold based on human capital factors, including areas of training, work experience, age, language proficiency in French and\/or English, prior connections with Quebec (through visits or family), and the human capital of the applicant\u2019s spouse or common-law partner (if applicable). <\/p>\n Last summer, the program moved to an Expression of Interest (EOI) system for the QSWP. The first step in this process is the creation and submission of a profile via an online platform called the Arrima Portal.<\/p>\n Are you eligible for selection as a Quebec Skilled Worker?

PEQ applicants are required to prove advanced-intermediate French ability. Certificates issued to PEQ applicants receive priority processing, with applicants often receiving a decision on their CSQ application within weeks of applying (if an interview is not required).<\/p>\n Quebec also offers a wide range of business immigration programs for\u00a0investors,\u00a0entrepreneurs, and\u00a0self-employed\u00a0individuals. The province expects to issue between 4,500 and 5,500 CSQs to business applicants in 2019. The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) is particularly popular, as it offers a passive investment opportunity, guaranteed by a Quebec government entity.<\/p>\n Complete a free assessment form to learn your options for Quebec immigration.<\/p>\nFor further\u00a0details and analysis of the Quebec Immigration Plan for 2019, please refer to our latest CICNews article.<\/em><\/h4>\n
