Eligibility Quebec Skilled Worker Program

[oasoussi]

Please need expert advice re eligibility criteria skilled worker program Quebec: I am currently residing in Quebec as international student full time enrolled in a Engineering master's program which I hope to complete by the end of 2016. My question is : Am I eligible to apply for Quebec skilled worker program when it opens knowing I haven't had any paid work experience in the past? As I understand internships don't count. My score in all other criteria is excellent. Many thanks.

Why don't you apply for the Quebec Experience Class once you are close to graduation?

You need at least 6 months of skilled work experience in order to become eligible for QSW. I switched from QSW to PEQ as soon as I had completed my year of skilled work experience in Quebec because you get your CSQ within one month opposed to 18-24 months under the QSW stream.
