However, it is up to (IRCC) to make the final decision on immigration applications.

What is the Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)?

The QSWP is for skilled workers who are more likely to establish themselves economically in the province. The program is popular among skilled workers and international graduates.

If you wish to settle in Quebec, you will be assessed under a different system than applicants who want to settle somewhere else in Canada.

Candidates who are invited to apply for permanent selection must do so within six months, starting on the date you submitted all the required information to process your application. This includes all forms and documents.

If successful, you will get a (CSQ or Quebec Selection Certificate). You can then use this document to apply for permanent residence to the Canadian federal government.

If you received an invitation to apply for a Quebec Selection Certificate, you may email qcita@canadavisa.com to learn about the next steps regarding your application.
