Can I apply for Canadian PR through Express Entry while living in Quebec?

Yes, but it requires careful planning. Federal Express Entry manages three programs: Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Federal Skilled Trades (FST), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Quebec does not participate in provincial nominations through Express Entry (OINP, AINP, etc.) — it uses its own selection system. However, Quebec residents can still apply through federal Express Entry programs independently of Quebec's selection. Latitude Immigration Montreal advises on whether federal Express Entry or a Quebec-specific pathway is the stronger option for your profile.

What documents are required for a Canadian PR application?

Canadian PR applications require identity documents (passports, birth certificates), language test results (IELTS or CELPIP for English; TEF or TCF for French), educational credential assessments (ECA from a designated body), proof of work experience, police certificates from all countries of residence of 6+ months, and medical examination results. Quebec applications additionally require documents supporting the CSQ application. Latitude Immigration Montreal provides a personalised document checklist based on your specific program and background.

How much does it cost to immigrate to Canada as a skilled worker?

Federal government fees for a Skilled Worker PR application are approximately CAD $1,365 for the principal applicant (including right of permanent residence fee) plus CAD $460 per adult dependant. Quebec additionally charges a CSQ fee of approximately CAD $822 for the main applicant. Professional fees for an RCIC-regulated consultant vary based on case complexity — Latitude Immigration Montreal provides transparent fixed-fee or hourly billing options during the initial consultation. Budget an additional CAD $300–600 for language tests, credential assessments, and medical exams.
