Who is eligible to apply for Quebec RSWP?

The Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program (RSWP) is a Canadian immigration program designed to attract skilled workers who wish to apply for Canada PR - and live & work in Quebec. To be eligible for the program, you must meet certain requirements, including:

• Age: You must be at least 18 years old.
• Education: You must have completed at least a high school diploma or an equivalent degree. However, having a higher level of education, such as a bachelor's or master's degree, can increase your chances of being selected.
• Language proficiency: You must demonstrate proficiency in French or English. To do so, you may be required to take a language test such as the Test d’Évaluation de français (TEF) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
• Work experience: You must have at least one year of work experience in a skilled occupation within the past five years.
• Financial stability: You must demonstrate that you have enough funds to support yourself and your dependents while living in Quebec.
• Adaptability: You must demonstrate that you have the ability to adapt to life in Quebec, including its culture, values, and way of life.

Additionally, Quebec has its own selection criteria for skilled workers. The province has a points-based system known as the Quebec points calculator - that evaluates applicants based on factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency, age, and other criteria. To be eligible for the program, you must score a minimum number of points.
