Quebec

The city of Québec is located on the Saint Lawrence River in Canada’s French-speaking Québec province. With a rich history, the province dates back to 1608 consisting of a fortified colonial core, Vieux-Québec, and Place Royale, with stone buildings and narrow streets. This area is the site of the towering Château Frontenac Hotel and imposing Citadelle of Québec, Vieux-Québec, and Place Royale, with stone buildings and narrow streets. The Quebec Provincial Nominee Program entails various immigration methods enabling eligible candidates to secure Canadian permanent residence. The immigration policies the federal government has granted the province of Quebec significantly more autonomy in immigration policies and procedures, which is why Quebec’s immigration programs are often treated separately from other provinces’.

Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ)

Quebec immigration applications are approved through two separate processes: selection and admission.  The procedure of selection happens at the provincial level, while admission is taken care of by the federal government at the level. To immigrate to Quebec, an applicant must meet the requirements for both selection and admission. In the selection step of the process, a foreign national must obtain approval from the province of Quebec itself.

Selection is demonstrated through a Certificat de sélection du Québec (Quebec Selection Certificate – CSQ), which is a document issued by the provincial immigration authorities following a successful application through one of Quebec’s immigration programs.
