Quebec Immigration Minister Announces June Dates for Online QSWP Applications
Quebec's Minister of Immigration, Diversity and Inclusiveness, Kathleen Weil, has announced that online applications for the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) will be suspended until June 13, 2016. Earlier this month, tens of thousands of potential immigrants who had already created an account in the online application management system Mon projet Québec attempted to log in to the system in order to submit their application, but the site was inaccessible due to server failure. This was the latest in a series of technical glitches that had occurred since Mon projet Québec was first launched on January 5, 2015. "I have no more tolerance for risk on this file. My priority is the immigration candidates themselves," stated Ms. Weil, who had already earlier instructed the Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Diversité et de l'Inclusion (MIDI) to delay the application intake period, which was initially scheduled to begin on January 25, 2016 but was moved to February 16. Through the QSWP, successful applicants and their families may obtain Canadian permanent resident status after receiving a Quebec Selection Certificate/certificat de selection du Québec (CSQ) from the government of Quebec.
