Thousands expected to submit applications for popular Canadian
immigration program in 2016
Next application cycle opens for new submissions at 8.30 a.m. EST
on February 16
The Ministère de l'Immigration, de la
Diversité et de l'Inclusion (MIDI), the government ministry overseeing
immigration to Quebec, Canada, is planning on reopening the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)
in May or June of this year. The MIDI disclosed this information at a meeting
with stakeholders on February 8, 2016.
Consequently, it is expected that there will be
at least two application intake periods for the QSWP in 2016. It was previously
unknown whether or not the QSWP would reopen for a second time this year.
May/June intake period may be the last of its kind
This latest immigration news from Quebec is
perhaps the most significant to come from the province over recent months. The
MIDI has made a number of changes to its procedures and processes over the past
year, including the removal of the time-consuming adaptability interview and
modifications to the area of training factor. These changes have largely been
welcomed by individuals and families interested in immigrating to Canada
through the QSWP.
However, the upcoming application intake periods
may be the last of their kind. Currently, the QSWP operates on a come,
first-served basis. Quebec’s Minister of Immigration recently proposed a bill
that, if passed, would likely result in Quebec implementing an economic
immigration system similar to the Express Entry system currently used by the
government of Canada, whereby candidates must make an ‘Declaration of Interest’
before being invited to apply based on their credentials.
If, as is now expected, Quebec reopens the QSWP
for new applications in May or June of 2016, that application intake period
will operate on the same first-come, first-served basis that is currently in
place.
It is unknown exactly how many applications may
be accepted during the planned intake period beginning in May or June. However,
the MIDI has said that up to 7,000 applications may be accepted for the period
2016-2017.

February 16 QSWP reopening: what we now know
As of next week, candidates who have already
created an account under Mon projet Québec, the MIDI’s new online application management
system, will have the opportunity to submit their application. Candidates
had until 25 January, 2016 to create an online account through Mon
projet Québec. Since that date, it has no longer been possible to create a
new account for the upcoming application intake period.
Until February 15, 2016, candidates who
have a Mon projet Québec account can access it to
complete the application for a Quebec Selection Certificate/certificat de
selection du Québec (CSQ). The option to submit an application will be
available as of 8.30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Tuesday,
February 16, 2016.
We also know the following details:
- The Mon projet Québec website will be
under maintenance for a short period before 8.30 a.m. on February 16.
Accordingly, users will not be able to log in before 8.30 a.m. and
‘reserve’ a place in line to submit.
- A limited number of users will be allowed to log in
simultaneously. However, the MIDI has said that the number of users
granted access at one any time will be significantly more than the number
that was allowed when Mon projet Québec first went
online.
- Approximately 42,000 accounts were created between
January 5 and January 25, 2016. Of these, and at the time of writing,
approximately half of all candidates who had created an account have now
also completed their applications and are in a position to submit on or
after February 16.
- The application intake period that begins on February
16, 2016 will end on March 31, 2016 at the latest. However, it is expected
that the intake quota of 2,800 places will be reached before that date.
- It is expected that candidates who successfully created
an account in Mon projet Québec, but who are not
successful in submitting their application between February 16 and March
31, will not be required to create a new account for the subsequent
application intake period, which is expected to reopen in May or June.
Existing accounts are likely to be carried over to the next intake period.
- It will be again be possible to create an online
account in Mon projet Québec as of February 18, 2016.
Candidates who are successful in submitting
their application have up to 90 days to provide supporting documentation. Once
the application has been submitted, candidates will have 30 days to pay the
fees. If a candidate does not submit and pay the fees within the prescribed
time frame, the application will be deleted.
