Drastic Changes in Quebec Immigration (Skilled Worker Program) Eligibility Points

Quebec has today announced drastic changes to its Selection Criteria for the Quebec Skilled Worker Program. For a Single applicant, the qualifying points will now be 50 (earlier 49) and for Married 59 (earlier 57). There has also been a considerable general drop in Area of Training (AOT) points for several specific fields of education and training. The maximum points available under AOT will be 12(earlier 16) and most training which previously fetched 12 points, for example, nurses, will now get only 9 (earlier 12). These changes in the Quebec Skilled Worker Program make it more difficult to achieve the points required to qualify.

The above changes may also affect your application, as Quebec has announced that these changes will also be applied to applications submitted to Quebec before 08 March 2017 where the preliminary examination has not yet started, including those submitted under Mon Project Quebec.

Quebec Skilled Worker Program

Quebec is Canada’s largest province and has a multicultural population. Vast forests, countless waterways, and many hills form the demography of Quebec. The official language of Quebec is French although English is widely spoken. It is one province which is also known as the Europe of North America.

Quebec has its own immigration programs and pathways for skilled workers who want to live and work in Quebec. One of the primary immigration pathways for skilled workers in Quebec is the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP). However, please note that immigration policies and program details can change over time, so it’s essential to stay up to date with the latest changes.
