While it\u2019s not yet known how Quebec Skilled Worker Program candidates will be ranked under the new Expression of Interest system that could take effect as early as August 2, a variation on the program\u2019s current points grid will continue to determine their eligibility for a Quebec Selection Certificate.<\/p>\n

To help you assess your potential eligibility,\u00a0CanadaVisa<\/a>\u00a0has created the\u00a0Quebec Immigration \u2014 Skilled Worker Points Calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About the revised QSWP points grid<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0points awarded for most factors on the grid<\/a>\u00a0remain the same as those awarded under the current Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) points grid, with a few key exceptions.<\/p>\n

Whereas a Validated Employment Offer is currently worth a maximum of 10, it will increase to a maximum 14 points and points awarded will vary based on the region of Quebec where the job offer is located.<\/p>\n

Also, variables under the \u201cStay and Family in Quebec\u201d factor will be weighted differently, though the maximum points available under the factor remains 8.<\/p>\n

In order to be considered for a\u00a0Quebec Selection Certificate<\/a>, or CSQ, candidates will have to meet the required cut-off and passing scores under the\u00a0Quebec QSWP points grid.<\/p>\n

The first requirement is that candidates meet the initial cut-off score for education (2 points) and financial self-sufficiency (1 point).<\/p>\n

Candidates who meet this requirement must then meet the cut-off score of 43 points for Employability factors. The Employability cut-off score for candidates with a spouse or common-law partner is 52.<\/p>\n

Employability factors include education and training, work experience, age, language proficiency, time spent in Quebec and family in Quebec and a validated employment offer. A job offer is an added bonus but is not required in order to be eligible for the QSWP.<\/p>\n

Finally, in order to be considered for a CSQ, candidates must meet the minimum threshold for Selection factors, which is a passing score of 50 points (59 with a spouse or common-law partner). Selection factors take into account all Employability factors with the addition of accompanying children and financial self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
