Hi,

As short as my title is, I think it explains my question well.

Of course any student in Quebec knows the "Quebecoise" way to get the PR, which is apply for the CSQ Experience Program as a quebec graduate student, gets CSQ in 3-4 weeks and then apply for the PR.

But many people say that this direction will take you one year + to get your PR as the immigration through Quebec takes long time and it is better to see something like Express Entry or whatever in order to accelerate your Permanent Residency application.

I'd like to know if that is correct and somehow it is better to avoid immigrating through Quebec.

Btw I am a new graduate from UdeM and currently started working as a software engineer in a big company in Montreal as I'm waiting my PGWP..

I have TEF C2 in French from McGill University and I also have a bachelor degree in Computer Science from France.

Thank you
 
Yeah I believe I will go through PEQ.

Since we get the CSQ in 3weeks then you can apply for the PR so at max it is going to take you up to 1 year.

But do we have to stay in Quebec if we apply through PEQ ?

I mean if I get the CSQ and start applying for the PR, do I have to stay in Quebec until my PR application gets accepted ?
 
What is the difference between CSQ & PEQ ?

My wife's applying for a student visa & I will be looking for an accounting job as I have 6 years of experience as an Accountant in Australia.

If I find work by any chance, can it be lead to work visa r work sponsorship thing? Hows finding work in Quebec, in terms of odd jobs? how does usually students cut off their expenses?
