Quebec, the French-speaking and the largest province of Canada has recently joined the series of draws that are being conducted by various provinces in a regular manner. On 18th June, 2020 Quebec invited 7 applicants to submit the application for permanent selection under the Regular Skilled Worker Program of Quebec after a span of six months.

• The finalized applicants had submitted their application under the Regular Skilled Worker Program, pursuant to Section 28 of the Act
• The Expression of Interest was filed before December 17, 2019
• Either the application was submitted to the Minister under Section 5.01 of the Regulation respecting the selection of foreign nationals; or

Quebec Immigration is a dream for many aspirants as it is one of the charming provinces of Canada with facilities and living standards at par with Ontario. However, Quebec has its own immigration program and does not collaborate with the Federal Government on this. The pre-requisite to migrate to Quebec would be the proficiency in French language as it a French province. Also, the process and formalities differ from rest of the provinces and it is always wise to consult an expert immigration consultant on the same.
