USEFUL INFORMATION

Before making an official immigration application (Application for a Selection Certificate) which involves non-refundable processing fees, we recommend that you first evaluate online your chances of being selected by Québec. The response is immediate and free!

If you cannot download the forms, contact the Immigration-Québec office abroad for your country to obtain them. Do not forget to specify if your spouse or dependent children age 18 or over will be accompanying you as well as the occupation you plan to practise in Québec.

If we do not receive the form duly completed and signed, the necessary official documents (appendices, declarations, etc.) and full payment (in Canadian currency only) of the required fees, your application will be returned to you without being processed.

If additional documents are required in order to review your file, you will be given 60 days to submit them. This time limit is calculated from the date of the acknowledgement of receipt sent to you and indicating which documents are missing. If the office processing your application has not received all the documents within the set time limit, your application will be refused.
