How this program works: applicants earn points based on things like education, work experience, language skills, age, and adaptability. If you get enough points, you're eligible for the program. If you make the cut, you'll receive a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ), a key document needed to apply for permanent residence with the federal immigration authorities.
