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.
