• Improve your French (make sure you have at least an intermediate level: B2 or level 7 on the Quebec scale of French language levels). If you are not fluent in French, here is how you can improve.
• Review your application: make sure you understand the job offer, highlight the strengths of your profile that match the job.
• Check the time indicated on your interview confirmation (Quebec time or time in your country?)
• Visit the company’s website and be prepared to answer with appropriate vocabulary (technical jargon for example).

The interview may last 20–30 minutes. Be on time. 
You will be talking to members of the company who may hire you: be polite and respectful. 

• Looking at people in the eyes (or looking at your computer camera in front of you) shows that you are confident.
• If you do not understand a question, do not hesitate to ask for rephrasing.
• Don’t say yes to everything. In Quebec, honesty is valued: it’s better to say so if you don’t have a particular skill. 
• Use arguments related to your professional experience (rather than personal reasons) to justify your desire to work in Quebec.
• And don’t hesitate to ask questions about the job, the working conditions and the company. Now is the time to do it! You may also want to confirm in which city the job is offered. 

 

Note: If your interview is online, make sure you have the best possible conditions: 

• Enough time
• A neutral, well-lit and professional-looking space
• An environment without disturbing elements (visual or sound)
• A good Internet connection 

International recruitment initiatives receive a huge number of applications. Don’t give up if you are not selected: persevere! 

If you are selected for the position, the company will guide you through the immigration process.
