Apply to immigrate as a Quebec-selected skilled worker

Steps to apply.

1. Get a Quebec certificate of selection

Visit the Quebec immigration website for more information on how to get a certificate of selection. You will have to send us a copy of your certificate with your permanent residence application.

2. Get the application package

After Quebec has selected you:

• get the application package, which includes:
  • a guide to help you fill out the forms correctly
  • the forms you need to fill out
• fill out, print and sign the forms

Answer all of your questions carefully, completely and truthfully. There are serious consequences if you misrepresent yourself or hold back information on your application.

3. Pay your application fees

You will have to pay:

a) The processing fee for you and your family members who will come to Canada

You must pay a separate fee for each family member who is included on your application and will be joining you in Canada. Check the fee list for more information.

If you’re application is complete, we’ll let you know and we’ll send your application to one of our offices for processing. Once we start processing your application, we cannot refund your processing fee. Make sure you’re eligible before you apply.

b) The Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF)

If we approve your application, you must pay this fee before you can become a permanent resident.

If your spouse or common law partner will be joining you in Canada they’ll need to pay a separate RPRF before coming to Canada.

We will refund this fee if:

• you cancel your application,
• your application is not approved, or
• you decide not to come to Canada.

Payment

You must include the processing fee with your application.

Other fees

You may have to pay fees to third parties for:

• your medical exam, and
• a police certificate.

The instruction guide has more detailed information on fees.
