Hello everybody,

I was just wondering, if a candidate has been selected by Quebec, is it possible for him to land directly in Toronto or Vancouver ? Or does he have to land in Quebec first ?

Thanks a lot !

A QSW needs to land in QC, or have proof of onward travel to QC, if on a connecting flight/flight that touches down in another province first.

CBSA can and do refuse to complete landing procedures if a QSW lands in another province with nothing to show s/he is transiting to Quebec.

Thank youLammawitch.
Can i land in QC and move a few days later ?
My goal is not QC but ON or BC but my chances to get the PR would be significantly higher if i was to apply to QSW instead of FSW...

Hi cool canada,

You require UK visa prior to your arrival in UK.
When you are planning to complete your landing?

The QSW program is for people who intend to settle in Quebec, it's not a "Backdoor" to the rest of the country visa process.

If you intend to settle in another province you should look at their PNP.

Having said that, a Permanent Resident can live and work freely anywhere in Canada.

Your call. You wouldn't be the first or last person to do this. I do know it's a cause for concern for both federal & provincial governments, who may, in the future, take action to modify regulations and requirements.

Thank you for your insight. :)
Could you enlighten me about something regarding QSW ? I noticed that there was not much difference in terms of how much points you get between having 1-2 years of work experience, and having none. So is it possible to apply to QSW with no or little work experience (think 3-6 months) given that you're able to get more than 49 points overall ?

*Usually*, the maintenance fees for a condo are the landlord's responsibility. This is generally reflected in the rent.

The monthly maintenance fee for a condo will vary from building to building, city to city, province to province.

Don't confuse apartment & condo.

Hi Lamma.

You are correct

Khurr

They are clearly difference btw an apartment and a condo. For an apartment it is better to rent. Usually condo are purchased, however you can rent from the owner when you land. Also note that for you to purchase a condo or house you need to have a good rent history. Owning a house or a condo requires a lot of procedures.

If you can pay by cash, then you just go to your lawyer. Your lawyer will do the rest.
