There are basically 5 steps to your process.
STEP 1 :
Online evaluation of your chances of being selected by Québec
STEP 2 :
Official application for immigration filed at Quebec Immigration
STEP 3 :
Interview and after, if review is successful, you will receive a
Certificat de sélection du Québec
STEP 4 :
Acceptance by the Government of Canada. Once you have received your Certificat de sélection du Québec, you must submit an
application for permanent residence to the
Centralized Intake Office in Canada. The Government of Canada will evaluate your
medical file and that of your family members. It will carry out a security check of each person. Once these steps are completed, the Government of Canada will issue you an immigration visa.
STEP 5 :
Preparing for your new life in Québec. While you wait for your permanent resident visa, take advantage of this time to
prepare yourself and start certain procedures; it will make your integration into Québec that much easier.
Now, for some, it may take less than as compared to others. And for others, it would take couple of years or so, however Quebec Immigration is very quick nowadays in issuing CSQ's. Delays usually occur in the 'Federal' part of the process.
