When the province of Quebec is involved, there are typically two stages to the application procedure; the application for a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ), and an application for landing as a permanent resident (the typical immigration application). The latter is handled by the Federal immigration department, while selection matters are handled by Quebec's.When applying for the CSQ, the fees payable to Quebec are paid, and the Federal processing and Right of Landing fees are paid when proceeding with the rest of the immigration procedures.
Although it is possible to apply to both offices concurrently, it would typically be best to obtain (or at least apply for) the CSQ prior to submitting the Federal application. The reason is that there maybe time limits set by the Federal immigration officials when requesting the CSQ.
