Canada-Quebec Accord
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canada-Quebec Accord is a legal agreement concerning immigration issues between the federal government of Canada and the provincial government of Quebec. The broad accord signed in 1991 preceded similar agreements with other provinces including British Columbia and Manitoba. The arrangement gives Quebec the exclusive responsibility of choosing immigrants and refugees still living in their foreign countries but wishing to relocate to the province. Selected applicants are issued “certificat de sélection du Québec”. Citizenship and Immigration Canada issues the actual visa after background and health verifications.
