Processing times
The time required to process applications varies due to
a number of factors (overall selection objectives by geographic pool and immigration
category, volume of applications for a Québec Selection Certificate
submitted from various territories, international context).
These processing times apply to applications for a Québec Selection
Certificate only. They do not include those that apply to applications to the
Government of Canada for permanent residence.
Information regarding processing times is updated regularly.
Procedure
Identify your country of habitual residence (the one you recorded in your application
for a selection certificate). Applications currently processed during
the selection interview are those that were SUBMITTED IN THE MONTHS INDICATED
and were COMPLETE at that time (ready for the interview: duly completed form
and declarations, certified supporting documents, certified translation,
full payment of fees). Currently, no selection interviews are being conducted
in countries where no month has been indicated.
To find out about processing times, select the country
where you legally reside (the one you recorded in your application for a Québec Selection Certificate):
