Can a FSW PR enter and live Quebec?

 

[ItsBeenLongNow]

i second this question

 

[iomokorede]

Can a FSW PR enter and live Quebec?

NO,U cannot live there if it is from the FSW. u can only live there if u applied to Quebec and the PR is given. i also believe that when u become a citizen, u can live anywhere

 

[ItsBeenLongNow]

So with a PR status one is not eligible to live in Quebec
even though one is federal immigrant

Quebec immigration is different from the Federal Skilled because it is run by 2 different government. If u wish u need to apply to Quebec because the have their own criteria, so with a PR FSW status, YOU CANNOT ENTRE AND LIVE but when u eventually become a citizen, u can live anywhere

Hello dear, sorry for the wrong advice, it seems i got confused as well cos i PM a citizen and was told i could not live in Quebec, until i become a citizen. It seems it is possible but there would be some issues on the address given at the point of entry which would and definately not be in Quebec.
But it means by one way or the other, the PR STATUS OF FSW is allowed to entre and live in Quebec.
Cheers and happy landing

You can live in Quebec, after you have landed, but you won't get any of the benefits Quebec gives to immigration via the their own selection (like free French language classes).

# Quebec Skilled Worker
According to an agreement between the Province of Quebec and the Government of Canada, the Province of Quebec has its own selection process for the skilled worker category of immigration. If you intend to live in Quebec upon arrival in Canada you will be assessed based on the Quebec Selection criteria and not the evaluation used by CIC.
Like the federal system, Quebec uses a points-based system to assess potential immigrants; however, on slightly different criteria. To qualify for a Quebec Selection Certificate, single applicants must score at least 60 points from the following ten selection criteria, while an applicant with a spouse or common-law partner must score a minimum of 68 points.
Training (maximum 29 points):

* Points are awarded separately for both education and job-related training.
* Additional points are awarded for having more than one area of specialty.

Validated Employment Offer (maximum 10 points):

* Points are awarded for having a job offer from an employer in Quebec, with greater points awarded for a job outside of the area of Montreal.

Work Experience (maximum 9 points):

* Full points are awarded for four or more years of experience in an occupation that falls in Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A or B in Canada's National Occupation Classification (NOC) system.

Age (maximum 18 points):

* Full points are awarded for being between the ages of 18-35.

Language Proficiency (maximum 22 points):

* French is the official language of the province of Quebec. The Quebec selection criteria place value on oral language abilities rather than written comprehension. Up to 16 points are available for oral interaction in French, with an additional 6 available for oral interaction in English

Stay and Family in Quebec (maximum 9 points):

* Having previously spent time living, working, or studying in Quebec, as well as having family in the province will help a prospective immigrant establish themselves more easily. Points are awarded for both of these areas.

Spouse's Characteristics (maximum 18 points):

* If an applicant is accompanied by a spouse or common-law partner, points may be awarded for the spouse's education, training, work experience, age and language.

Children (maximum 8 points):

* Up to the maximum, 4 points are awarded for each child less than 12 years of age, and 2 points for each child between 13 and 21.

Financial Self-Sufficiency (1 point):

* One point is awarded for having sufficient funds for financial self-sufficiency upon arrival. An applicant who does not satisfy this requirement the application is automatically refused.

Adaptability (maximum 8 points):

* This category uses an overall assessment of the applicant's ability to adapt to life in Quebec.

Satisfying these requirements will lead to the issue of a Quebec Selection Certificate, which is recognized by CIC for immigration to Quebec. The applicant must still pass a security clearance and medical examination.

I think the points base system has been revised as of 2009, so the number of points given to the described categories has changed to the following:

So its interesting, landing in Quebec would be a bad idea as we have to move to another province to record of landing papers.

 

[ItsBeenLongNow]

Yes, I.e. If one is not a Quebec select
