Quebec Skilled Workers is designed to identify immigration candidates who are most likely to become economically established in the province.

Skilled Worker applicants who aim to reside in Montreal or in another city within the province of Quebec are assessed under a different system than applicants who wish to settle in other part of Canada.

Skilled Workers or international graduates in Quebec may apply to immigrate to Quebec under what the Government of Quebec calls its Regular Skilled Worker Program, also known as the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)
