New processing fees for immigration applications to Quebec for permanent and temporary stays will come into force on January 1, 2019.
Quebec’s Ministry of Immigration, Diversity and Inclusion, or MIDI, updates the fees for all its immigration program each year. The ministry said the adjusted fees are based on a 1.71 per cent increase in Quebec's consumer price index for the period ending September 30, 2018.
Individuals interested in moving to Quebec permanently through an economic program are required to submit an application for a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) under the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP), Quebec Experience Program (PEQ) or Quebec Business Immigration programsbefore applying to the federal government for permanent residence.
To work or study in Quebec, foreign nationals must first apply to the Government of Quebec for a Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) before submitting a temporary work or study permit application to the Government of Canada.
