Quebec’s Regular Skilled Worker Program

The Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program (RSWP) was established for foreign workers looking to immigrate to Quebec permanently to work. To start your application process, you must first declare your interest in moving to Quebec. For this, you must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).

If your EOI profile matches the criteria needed in Quebec, the Minister of Immigration, Francization and Integration (MIFI) will send you an invitation to apply for permanent residence.

To get selected, you must have certain training and professional skills that will facilitate your job integration in Quebec. Other selection factors include:

• Language proficiency
• Your age
• The characteristics of your spouse
• The presence of children

These factors and their criteria are assessed using a selection grid aka Quebec points calculator. The higher your score, the more your chances of getting invited in the upcoming Quebec RSWP draw.

On average, 80% of applications under the Quebec RSWP are processed within 8-10 months.
