Québec has a special agreement with the Government of Canada on immigration regarding all Quebec Immigration. The province has its own rules for choosing immigrants who will adapt well to living there.

To apply as a skilled worker in Québec, you must:

• apply to the Québec government for a certificate of selection, Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) under one of the Quebec Immigration programs. This shows that Quebec has accepted you as an immigrant. Québec will assess you using its own rules, then
• apply to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to become a permanent resident of Canada.

As part of the process, you will need to have a medical exam and get a police check (certificate). All immigrants must have these checks, no matter where they plan to live in Canada.
