\"\" \"Quebec \"Quebec<\/p>\n

The government of Quebec plans to implement an online ‘virtual waiting room’ in time for the approaching application intake period for the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP), which is scheduled to begin June 13, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. EST (Montr\u00e9al time).<\/p>\n

During this intake period, which may run until June 20 at the latest,\u00a0candidates who have already created an account in the Mon projet Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>\u00a0system will be in a position to\u00a0submit an\u00a0application for a\u00a0Quebec Selection Certificate\/certificat de selection du Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>\u00a0(CSQ).\u00a0With a CSQ, an applicant may then apply to the federal government for Canadian permanent resident status.<\/p>\n

Quebec\u00a0will receive up to 5,000 applications during the June 13\u201320 intake period, which\u00a0will be restricted to the approximately 41,000 candidates who created a Mon projet Qu\u00e9bec<\/em> account when the registration period was open earlier this year.\u00a0When this number is reached, applicants who do not have an account may create one with a view to the next intake period. During this second period, for which the dates are expected to be announced soon, Quebec\u00a0will again\u00a0receive up to 5,000 applications applications.\u00a0Mon projet Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>\u00a0is not scheduled to open for new registrations before the June intake period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The virtual waiting room will\u00a0allow candidates to keep their place in line during high traffic periods. Candidates who wish to access Mon projet Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>\u00a0will automatically be directed to this waiting room and\u00a0will be able to find out their position in the line and the number of people in front of them. The virtual waiting room may be seen as an online version of how\u00a0a\u00a0real waiting room might function at a medical centre or other service-oriented environment.<\/p>\n

Before June\u00a013, it will be possible for candidates to update their application form for a CSQ\u00a0so that they are ready to submit it during the intake period.\u00a0Having a place in the waiting room does not mean that it will be possible to submit the application. Only the first 5,000 applications submitted will be considered.<\/p>\n

To submit an\u00a0application on June\u00a013, 2016, starting at 8:30\u00a0a.m. (Montr\u00e9al time), candidates who already have a Mon projet Qu\u00e9bec <\/em>account\u00a0must:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Access the virtual waiting room\u00a0by clicking the tab ‘Se connecter’.<\/em>
    – It will not be possible to get in line before 8:30 a.m.
    – The candidate\u2019s position in the waiting line will be displayed on the screen.
    – The number of people waiting in front of the candidate will also be displayed.<\/li>\n
  2. Connect to their account when their turn comes. An audible signal will inform them and a message will appear on the screen, at which point they will be automatically redirected to the page allowing them to connect.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  3. Submit their application. During the submission period, candidates will have a maximum of 10 minutes to submit their application.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: Candidates in either of the following situations may submit an application for a CSQ at any time:<\/p>\n
