The list is used by the Government of Quebec to determine eligibility to the\u00a0Quebec Experience Program (PEQ)\u00a0and to assign points when determining who receives a Quebec Selection Certificate (Certificat de s\u00e9lection du Qu\u00e9bec, or CSQ).

Quebec\u2019s Immigration Ministry published its updated Area of Training List on Friday, November 1.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0new list<\/a>\u00a0replaces the previous Area of Training List that was published August 2, 2018, and the ministry said the updated version applies to all applications submitted before or after November 1.<\/p>\n

The list is used by the Government of Quebec to determine eligibility to the\u00a0Quebec Experience Program (PEQ)<\/a>\u00a0and to assign points when determining who receives a Quebec Selection Certificate (Certificat de s\u00e9lection du Qu\u00e9bec, or CSQ).<\/p>\n

A CSQ is required in order to immigrate to Quebec as a permanent resident.<\/p>\n

Quebec revises the list periodically to reflect its economic and employment needs.<\/p>\n

The document is divided into five sections (A to E), with areas of training listed in Section A considered the most in-demand.<\/p>\n

Quebec Skilled Worker Program selection<\/h3>\n

Area of Training is one of the 10 factors that are considered under the\u00a0points grid<\/a>\u00a0for the\u00a0Quebec Skilled Worker Program<\/a>\u00a0(QSWP), which is the province\u2019s most popular immigration pathway.<\/p>\n

Points are awarded for specified foreign and Quebec university, college and secondary-level vocational degrees based on the level of employer demand in Quebec, with those listed under Section A worth 12 points.<\/p>\n

Area of training is one of the factors that Quebec considers when determining who it invites to apply for a selection certificate through the QSWP and also plays a role in who is ultimately selected for permanent residence in the province.<\/p>\n

Area of Training and updated PEQ eligibility<\/h3>\n

Updated criteria for the Quebec Experience Program published this week require all candidates to have a degree or diploma in an eligible area of training.<\/p>\n

Eligible areas of training are those under Part II of Sections A and B of the list.<\/p>\n

The revised criteria took effect on November 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
