1. Like I told, Quebec points system is bullshit & they do not follow what they say on their website verbatim. They generally follow those guidelines, but they do not publish the exact selection criteria or points in their website for the invited candidates. No one has any idea how they select people. But to your question, I do not think your degree & work should match. Mine did match, regardless of me being already working in Quebec in 2173 NOC, they made me wait 2 years to issue CSQ (this was during Liberals rule before they got defeated by CAQ). Liberals immigration dept were happily admitting illegal border crossers from Roxham border while we were waiting for our CSQ. Thats why Liberals got defeated by CAQ as Quebeckers were fed up with tax burdens pouring over from Roxham.
2173 is in demand occupation category in Quebec. So you might get priority in selection process. But be careful with Quebec immigration, they have cancelled 18,000 applications (a mess made by Liberals) just like that and have made new rules to apply new laws retroactively (Bill 9 ) , it means suppose you get invitation & then they make you wait for many months or even years and then they change rules, your application if does not satisfy new rules, it will be cancelled. Your time & money will be wasted. So be very careful & use Quebec as your last immigration option. You also have to keep in mind that getting a CSQ is half the battle, The other half is Federal stage.
Federal backlog & delays are now 22 months. You will have to wait 2 years more even if you get a CSQ. This is the current situation.
2. Highest degree only. If Masters, then Bachelors is implied right. Thats why.
With NOC 2173 & degrees why don't you check Express Entry or other PNPs like BC PNP, OINP, SINP, AINP, Atlantic Immigration & the new Municipal Immigration ? Also check for consultancies which does LMIA work permits in Ontario.
I am telling you, Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Programme is a mess after CAQ govt came. In a way they are cleaning up the big mess that Liberals created, but CAQ have also broken stuff in the process too.
It might improve or they will mess it up even further imposing more & more conditions till they can cherry pick white Europeans only.
Do not waste your time & money on Quebec immigration system.
