1. What is the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)?

The Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) is an immigration program for candidates for economic immigration who intend to settle in the province of Quebec. The Ministere de l'immigration, de la diversite et de l'inclusion (Ministry of Immigration, Diversity, and Inclusion (MIDI)) receives applications to the QSWP through the online platform Mon Projet Quebec. Applicants who are successful under the QSWP are issued a Quebec Selection Certificate (Certificat de selection du Quebec, or CSQ), which is required before the candidate applies to the Canadian federal government for a permanent residence visa.
