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.
