Skilled Worker Program (QSW)

Immigrants who wish to reside in Quebec are scored differently than applicants who wish to settle elsewhere in Canada. Quebec uses an “Immigration Selection System” that identifies applicants who meet their criteria and are eligible under that system, and issue them a Quebec Selection Certificate, at which point they are allowed to apply for a Canadian permanent resident visa.

To qualify for a Quebec Selection Certificate (which is required to receive your permanent resident visa), Skilled Worker applicants must score at least 49 points based on the criteria below. An applicant with a spouse or common-law partner must score at least 57 points.

Quebec Immigration Selection Factors:

Education Up  to 14 points (cutoff score=2 points)
Area of Training Up to 16 points
Validated Employment Offer Up to 10 points
Work Experience Up to 8 points
Age Up to 16 points
Language Proficiency* Up to 22 points
Stay and Family in Quebec Up to 8 points
Spouse/Common Law Characteristics Up to 17 points
Children Up to 8 points
Financial Self-Sufficiency 1 point

*To be awarded points for language proficiency, language tests must be submitted along with applications.

Skilled Worker Program (QSW) applicants must then successfully pass medical and security tests administered by the Canadian Government to be granted a Canadian permanent resident visa.

Processing Fees:

 Principal Applicant $765 (CAD)
Spouse, de facto spouse $164 (CAD)

  • “The lawyer at Alghoul and Associates Law office got my wife Canadian permanent resident to bring my wife to Canada from China through the Canada Immigration Spousal sponsorship program. They also got my mother super visa so my mom to be here with me and my wife when we are having our first baby girl. The office staff completed the forms and helped gather documents. The law office also communicate directly with Citizenship and Immigration Canada CIC on my behalf and my mother behalf on several occasions to replay and follow up on my application. The lawyer was knowledgeable and staff very friendly and helpful. Thank you for everything.”

  • “Alghoul & Associates Law Firm helped my brother and his wife at the time with their immigration case. Also my wife and I used this law firm for many services including real estate and wills. We have great experience and always successful. I bought and sold few properties using their service and they were friendly, very fast and reasonably priced. They always answered my calls, met with me on time and were very professional. Still my law firm. Highly recommended.”

  • "Thank you Alghoul Law Firm, My wife and I were a bit nervous with the immigration process due to our previous attorney/law firm who gave us misleading information about the immigration process to Canada. The ‘other’ law firm also charged us a ridiculous amount of money for simple questions, their photocopying or their unapproved research time on top of a prearranged fee. We wasted a whole year with them! So we reached out to Alghoul law firm after reading the reviews. During our initial interview, Erin put as at ease and answered questions without charging us. We left feeling finally at ease. The process was exactly what Erin and Angela discussed with us from the time length, fees, expectations, processes, etc. Nothing during this process caught us off guard because Alghoul representatives were 100% transparent with us and that made the process a lot easier. Every question was answered in a timely manner with “NO ADDITIONAL FEES”, that’s something we had a major issue with our previous attorney/law firm. Thank you so much! My spouse is now a permanent resident!"

  • “I had Alghoul Law handling my complicated immigration case. I heard of Alghoul Law Firm's success and Mr. Alghoul's excellent reputation from others. We had no hope but Mr. Alghoul was amazing and appealed the refusal decision and won. Our impossible immigration case was dealt with very successfully in this office. Everyone in the office was working around the clock. We had nothing but the best experience and treatment there. Mr. Alghoul himself even flew to Egypt to meet with me and prepare me for the appeal before the hearing. I never heard of any other lawyer doing this for his clients. Incredible and genuine service from the heart. They were prompt, professional, responsible, and went out of their way to help us. I always felt supported. Wonderful people. Amazing lawyer and staff.”
