- Before making an official immigration application (CSQ), which requires
the payment of non-refundable processing fees, you can evaluate
online your chances of being selected by Québec. You will
receive an immediate response free of charge!
- However, applicants who intend to practise a regulated trade or profession
in Québec as self-employed workers run the risk of having their
application refused unless they have received a preliminary evaluation
of their qualifications from the appropriate regulatory body. It should
be further noted that only some regulatory bodies issue this type of
attestation and it is incumbent upon the applicant to initiate the necessary
procedures.
- If you are a self-employed worker and you do not satisfy the conditions
of the Self-Employed Worker Program, find out whether you qualify for
the Immigration Program for skilled workers. Section

workers
