Introduction:
Planning to apply for Permanent Residency (PR) in Montreal? Quebec has a different immigration system from the rest of Canada.
If you’re a newcomer from India or applying for PR through Check Check Services, this guide will help you understand Quebec’s unique immigration pathway in 2025.
Why Montreal PR is Different
Unlike other provinces, Quebec controls its own immigration programs. This means you’ll need to get a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) before applying for federal PR.
Step-by-Step PR Path for Quebec in 2025:
-
Apply for CSQ through Quebec programs like QSWP (Quebec Skilled Worker Program)
-
Meet Quebec’s selection criteria (education, experience, French language skills, job offer)
-
Get your CSQ
-
Apply for PR through IRCC (federal process)
Key Points to Remember:
-
Express Entry does not apply in Quebec
-
French is a strong asset but not always mandatory
-
You must settle in Quebec after PR approval if selected through a Quebec program
-
Processing time can be different from PNP or Express Entry
