The Quebec government has announced today the reopening of the immigration program for skilled workers in two parts:
- Submission of applications in “paper” format for skilled workers must be made by mail from November 4, 2015;
- Submission of applications “on line” are accepted from January 18, 2016.
In both cases, the total number of requests has been set at 6300 applications in total. It is expected that the quota will be filled very quickly.
It should be noted that certain categories of applicants are excluded from this quota and may file applications at any time:
- – Holders of work permits, study permits that qualify for filing their cases in Quebec ;
- – Holders of a validated job offer in Quebec;
- – Some categories may apply in Quebec based on humanitarian grounds as determined by the federal government.
