There are many Canadian provinces like Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, Ontario and more which run their respective Provincial Nominee Program to nominate immigration candidates for Canadian Permanent Residence. However, as compared to the other ten provinces of Canada, Quebec always stands out from the rest due to its separate immigration system and language culture. It is the only Canadian province having French as the official language. More than 80% of its population is French-speaking, which makes it “the province with the largest francophone population across Canada as well as the continent of North America“.
Similarly, when it comes to immigration programs, it neither chooses immigrants through the Provincial Nominee Program nor Federal Express Entry program. However, under the Canada-Quebec-Accord agreement, it has its set of rules and regulations for an immigration system which can be amended by the government of the province to meet the requirements of the province. It operates the Quebec skilled worker Program (QSWP) to target highly educated and trained foreign nationals.
