Quebec immigration

Quebec is one of the provinces in Canada. Just like other provinces, Quebec is also having a unique and different program but the major difference is that this program is not comes under PNP Program of Canada, because Quebec runs their individual program to select the Candidates for the PR of Canada which is called “Quebec Skilled Worker Program”.

Quebec Skilled worker Program has a 2^nd name as well, which is called “Regular Skilled Worker Program” by the Quebec Government.

As because Quebec is the province where you will get more than 90 percent of people French speakers and this is the main reason that Quebec is having its unique program.

The Government of Canada has given a complete right to the Quebec province to set their own rules, procedures and guidelines to selecting the Immigrants to protect their French language and culture.

Quebec Skilled Worker Program is actually for the globally talented skilled workers who are interested to migrate in the Quebec Province to support this province socially and economically.

This program have not the mandatory requirement of French Language, Strong English Language speaker also can apply for this program.

This is because Canada is having two official Languages i.e. French and English.
