The government of Quebec has today made a significant announcement regarding the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP), its flagship program for immigration to Canada.
In a press release posted on its official website, the government stated that ‘Quebec will select skilled workers in a more objective, consistent and effective manner’ through the points-based program. Towards this end, the government has removed the allocation of points (6) that were previously available under the ‘adaptability’ factor at the interview stage, which was deemed to have been overly subjective in nature.
The changes announced today come into immediate effect and will apply to most applicants who have already submitted an application, as well as those who may do so in the future. Individuals whose files are currently under administrative review, as well as those who have been allocated a period of time to improve their French proficiency, remain subject to the regulations that were in effect at the time the application was made.
It is not yet known exactly when the next application cycle for the QSWP may begin, but today’s breaking news is the latest in a series of announcements made by the government of Quebec over recent months.
