FAQ – Lawyer Answers
Process
Immigrating under the QSWP is essentially a two stage submission process. The first stage is applying to the Province of Quebec and they issue the CSQ. The second stage is to the Federal Government which grants the permanent residence visa!
The vast majority of the work is done once an applicant has been granted the CSQ and, generally speaking, all one has to provide in the second stage to the Federal Government is the police clearance certificates and the medical examination report once they are requested.
Post Graduate Work Permit
After your studies are completed you should be granted a post-graduate work permit. This is themuch sought after “open” work permit which means the holder can work in any occupation theywish, anywhere in Canada, and it is not tied to a Canadian employer. The length of the permit is determined by the length of your program of study, when taken full time.
Csq Eligibility
If your program of study is 900 hours or more, students can submit their CSQ application when they are 50% done the requirements of the course. What this means is that your application is processing while you are studying. As you can see the timing of when the application is submitted can mean the difference between staying in Canada continuously, or having to temporarily relocate back to your country of citizenship.
