Permanent Resident Visa : Skilled Worker in Quebec

The Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) for Skilled Workers is a popular alternative to the Federal Immigration system for entry into Canada due to its more inclusive point system and generally faster processing times. Quebec looks at many more factors than does Canada Immigration. Since Quebec is looking for young families with children it gives more weight to your spouse's skills and more points if you have children.

Quebec is also an exciting place in which to live - a unique combination of Europe and North America. Highly cultured and politically charged Quebec is at the heart of life in Canada. And still with one of the lowest costs of living in Canada.
