I posted this same thread last year, and the response was pretty big! So I'm posting it again in hopes that I, and other knowledgable folks on this subreddit, can help some more people out.
First things first: I'm not an immigration professional, lawyer, or in other way formally qualified to answer your questions.
That said, I am in the process of immigrating to Quebec, and, in my seven years here, have helped many others through the process from immigrant to citizen. I've taken several people to permanent resident landings in Lacolle, helped dozens of people apply for work and study permits, done a permanent resident landing myself, and have lots of tips and tricks to get through it as painlessly as possible.
