What to understand
Quebec selects many economic immigrants under its own programs before the federal permanent residence stage. Provincial selection and federal admissibility are separate decisions.
What to prepare
Review the current Quebec government program and intake rules, language criteria and evidence requirements. After provincial selection, follow the applicable IRCC process.
Important to know
Do not assume an Express Entry or other provincial stream applies to someone intending to settle in Quebec.
