If you intend to stay longer or even permanently in Quebec, you can apply for permanent residence. Being a permanent resident grants you all the same rights as a Canadian citizen, except voting. 

To apply for permanent residence to settle in the province of Quebec, you will first need to obtain a Quebec selection certificate (Certificat de sélection du Québec), which is issued by the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI).

The permanent resident status is granted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Programs can lead to permanent residence:

Programme de sélection des travailleurs qualifiés – PSTQ (Skilled worker selection program) :

• This requires you to go through the MIFI website, Arrima.

Note that you can apply whether you are outside Quebec or already in the province. 

Our team will walk you through the steps to become a permanent resident through the Programme de sélection des travailleurs qualifiés – PSTQ (Skilled worker selection program). We will also guide you through the procedures to live and work in Quebec during this process.
