Hi, I studied in Vancouver, British Columbia as a master’s student and I now have a job offer in Quebec.
I want to understand my PR options clearly. Can I still apply through Express Entry/Canadian Experience Class after gaining one year of skilled Canadian work experience, even if that experience is from a Quebec job?
Also, would I need French if I apply through Express Entry, or is French only required if I apply through a Quebec PR pathway?
My main concern is whether working in Quebec affects my eligibility for Express Entry, since Quebec has its own immigration system.

Can I apply through Express Entry if I work in Quebec but intend to settle outside Quebec after PR?

The issue is that if you just moved to Quebec it may be difficult to prove you plan on settling outside Quebec. Would suggest relocating outside Quebec and finding other employment either during processing or before you apply. Yes you can use your work experience in Quebec as Canadian work experience.
