Online application for CSQ -PEQ through Arrima
- Thread starter Kinkin
- Start date
Google Express Entry and look at the requirements. You need your education assessed and IELTs scores of CLB 7 to even submit a profile.
This is great news as we don't need to apply for a closed work permit in case our PGWP expires while waiting for PR:

Permis de travail ouvert transitoire
À la demande du Québec, le gouvernement fédéral a accepté de mettre en place, le 31 août prochain, une mesure qui permettra à certains travailleurs étrangers temporaires qui séjournent au Québec d’y occuper un emploi de leur choix en attendant l’obtention de leur résidence permanente. Pour pouvoir bénéficier du permis de travail ouvert transitoire, ces travailleurs devront détenir un CSQ dans la catégorie des travailleurs qualifiés et avoir reçu un accusé de réception régulier de leur demande de résidence permanente de la part du gouvernement fédéral.
Permis de travail ouvert transitoire (PTOT)
Les travailleuses et travailleurs étrangers temporaires au Québec qui ont présenté une demande de résidence permanente dans la catégorie des travailleurs qualifiés du Québec pourront obtenir un PTOT selon les modalités suivantes :
- Pour obtenir le PTOT, la travailleuse ou le travailleur devra présenter l’accusé de réception régulier de sa demande de résidence permanente.
- Le permis de travail sera d’une durée initiale de 24 mois et pourrait être renouvelé pour une période supplémentaire de 12 mois. Il comportera une restriction pour que le lieu d’emploi reste au Québec.

Agreements between Québec and Ottawa to facilitate the arrival and hiring of temporary foreign workers in Québec
Following agreements made between the Québec government and the federal government, the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration has announced three measures to promote the hiring of foreign temporary workers.
At the request of the Québec government, the Government of Canada will be easing measures for the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), in particular, by increasing the limit on the number of temporary workers for each place of employment in certain activity sectors. All of the measures to ease the TFWP will be in effect until December 31, 2023.
As of the end of August, temporary foreign workers who hold a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ – Québec Selection Certificate) as skilled workers, who have submitted an application for permanent residence, will be able to apply to the federal government for a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP). This work permit will allow these workers to hold a job of their choice while waiting to obtain their permanent residence.
Lastly, a new channel will be created under the International Mobility Program Plus (IMP+) to allow 7000 work permits to be issued to individuals who hold a CSQ, who are still abroad and who have submitted an application for permanent residence. The IMP+ will speed up the arrival of these workers in order for them to hold a job. This will help meet Québec’s labour needs in key sectors of the economy.
For more details about these measures, consult the press release published today.
