Quebec has conducted another round of invitations under its Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ), giving 519 candidates an opportunity to move forward with their permanent immigration plans. The selection round, held on September 24, targeted candidates across the PSTQ’s different streams. Majority of the invitations went to workers in intermediate and manual occupations.
Stream 2 accounted for 316 invitations, while 86 candidates were selected through Stream 1 and another 110 through Stream 3. Seven candidates with exceptional talent also received invitations. Those selected can now pursue a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ), an important step toward applying for Canadian permanent residence.
The latest draw comes as Quebec continues to adjust its immigration policies and selection priorities. Future PSTQ invitations are expected to reflect the province’s immigration targets and the number of applications received through other programs.
