With a Growing Job Market, Your Future May Be In Quebec
August, 2011

From now to 2015, the province of Quebec is planning to admit 50,000 new immigrations each year from over 100 countries. Individuals who are thinking of settling in Quebec will want to know about employment opportunities in the province. According to a study done by the Université de Montréal, a significant majority of immigrants selected as workers found a job that corresponds to their qualifications within five years of being admitted to Quebec. This is encouraging news as Quebec employers are requesting that the Quebec government accept more immigrants to the province to make up for the loss of Canadian workers that are retiring.

Where are the most employment opportunities in Quebec?

In general, Quebec's overall labour market is favourable, but the Montreal region in particular is known for having employment opportunities across a wide range of industries. Because of this, a majority of foreign individuals choosing to settle in Quebec live in the Montreal region.

According to the Canadian government's labour forecasts, there are several employment sectors in Montreal that will be experiencing particularly strong growth, such as information and technology sectors, health and science fields, and the tourism industry. The following are a few examples of occupations that are expected to have the highest rate of job growth within the coming years:

Information and Technology

Montreal is home to several large computer and video gaming corporations such as Electronic Arts, UbiSoft, and Softimage and the following are a few occupations are in demand for those industries:

• Information Systems Analysts and Consultants
• Web Designers and Developers
• Computer Network Technicians
• Computer Programmers and Interactive Media Developers

Business & Finance

• Financial auditors and accountants
• Professional occupations in business services to management
• Bookkeepers

Health and Medical

Canada's population is quickly aging resulting in a greater demand for health services. As such, the need of individuals who work in the medical field is particularly high for the following occupations:

• Specialist Physicians
• Biologists and related scientists
• General Practitioners and Family Physicians
• Dentists
• Pharmacists
• Physiotherapists
• Licensed Practical Nurses

Tourism Industry

With hundreds of festivals held annually, Montreal and Quebec City welcome millions of tourists from around the world, resulting in a high demand for employees in the following occupations:

• Accommodation Service Managers
• Food Service Supervisors
• Cooks
• Food and Beverage Servers

Occupations in Education

Montreal is home to several renowned universities and colleges, such as McGill University, the John Molson School of Business, and the Université de Montreal. As such, job opportunities in the educational field are constantly growing:

• University Professors
• College and Other Vocational Instructors
• Administrators – Post-secondary Education and Vocational Training

Other Occupations in High Demand

• Butchers, Meat Cutters and Fishmongers – Retail and Wholesale
• Electrical Mechanics
• Aircraft Assembly Inspectors
• Construction Managers
• Civil Engineers

A job offer from a Quebec employer is not required when applying for Canadian Permanent Residency through the Quebec Skilled Worker Program. Contrary to the Federal Skilled Worker Program, applicants in the Quebec Skilled Worker Program are not required to have work experience in a qualifying occupation. Computer programmers, engineers, accountants, and those in other occupations can all apply through this program.

hi ezaz,
thats good use of maths here :)

so, we can very well see here that how this new rules have helped biq to reduce the application flow.... from approx 900 per months to just 160-200 per month.

and yes ezaz, your predictions make sense.... just to keep one fact in mind that these 676 files are actual AORs because of the complete application package submitted by these applicants.
There must be many applicants whose files might have been returned due to incomplete application package, and I think this number will be on higher side.

So, I think this quota will be exhaused by the end of 2012 will not go beyond that... :)
Yes, but we must keep in mind the Group 1 (AOT of 12 & 16 extra points) , which has no limit, and could be any numbers of applicants

Hello Guys,

need help on two questions,

1-Is CSQ only for the peoples who studied or worked at Quebec ? and for the person like me who never studied or worked at Canada no need for them?.
2- when we need to submit Police Clearance certificate, is it with the base application?

Guys trying to search these two answers but not able to find on Quebec imm website.

Regards,


Ali
Hi @Ali,
Sorry for the late reply;
1-No, CSQ is for those people who are not living in Quebec but wants to immigrate to Canada as a whole but they will admitted to province of Quebec and CSQ is issued after you have applied in Quebec Skilled worker category and u have called in the interview and u pass that interview only than u will be awarded CSQ. There is different requirement for those who wants to apply CSQ while residing, completed education in Quebec, but for the new comers like you, you will require CSQ to live and work in Quebec.
2. Basically Quebec immigration is divided in to different stages and submission of police clearance certificate and Medical documents come afterwards.
I fu need any more info just drop a PM..
Hope it help$$

I envy you people who got their csq/pr fast and without so many hassles of newrules. :) Now-a-days the entire process has become very tough and also it takes now almost 18 months to get interview/csq and 6-8 months for PPR. So overall 2-2.5 yrs for getting PR visas under qsw.

hello friends, I wanted to ask you-

If I have a validated job offer and I don't take the job once I get my PR, what will happen? I'm just asking because I got points for my CSQ through my validated employment.

Just wondering, if in case unexpected things suddenly happen...

Hey mdammalli,

you made a little mistake in your query - you are not offered citizenship via CSQ you are offered permanent residence (PR). Permanent Residents apply for Citizenship after. To qualify for citizenship one must spend at least 730 days (2 years) out of 1825 day (5 years). you will be required to write a citizenship exam at that time and if successful you will be invited to attend a citizenship ceremony some time after. Just wanted to clarify this mistake that you made in your typing, that CSQ is for PR and not for citizenship. The difference between a PR and a citizen of Canada is the right to vote. Citizens can vote PR can't for the time being but all other amentities are available to you as a permanent resident, That is:

Free movement from province to province
Employment
Health care
Schooling
etc.

Which brings me the the second part of your question. It is encouraged actually for you to go to school to read for a higher degree in Quebec. The main benefit of this is you will attain a degree that is recognisable in Quebec and by extension all of Canada. As a result you stand the chance to obtain a higher paying job. Just a side note it was shared on page 861 in this forum the challenge immigrants have with securing a job in thier field of study. This is because the degrees we obtain outside of Canada may or may not be equivalent and so persons may have to settle for lower paying jobs. A sure way to beat this challenge is to return to school and read for a higher degree because it gives you greater marketability for better jobs. Another reason why it is encouraged to go to school in Quebc is because the tuition fees for persons living in Quebec are much lower than any other province in Canada. Someone living in Quebec could pay 30% to 50% lesser tuition fees than other universities throughout Canada (by persons living in that province), and I have not began to tell you of the possibility for scholarships etc.

Given these benefits why go anywhere else?! The remainder of your question as I stated before, once you are granted permanent residence you have free movement to any other province to work or go to school. A caveat, do not attempt to use Quebec as the back door into Canada...try to make it in Quebec first, document your efforts and if you had no choice but to move to a different province for an opportunity then so be it. The reason I said this is because if you use Quebec as the backdoor and flee upon landing into another province you may potentially face problems when it comes to seeking citizenship.

I am not sure I understand your last bit, but, I advise you strongly not to apply to the federal level and to Quebec at the same time, this could never look good on you as your intention to reside in Quebec will be in question from day one. Quebec seeks to select immigrants with a genuine interest to live and work in Quebec to stimulate economic activity in that province. Applying to both the federal and Quebec together will be to your detriment.
