If the people you are sponsoring intend to settle in Quebec, Quebec's sponsorship rules apply instead of the federal ones, apart from the ineligibility rules in 156. The same idea as the family class split: the province assesses the sponsor.
Affects: Refugee claimants and protected persons
Legal Text: IRPR Regulation 158
158 If the foreign national and their family members intend to reside in the province of Quebec, the sponsor must meet the requirements for sponsorship under the Québec Immigration Regulation, CQLR, c. I-0.2.1, r. 3, as amended from time to time. In such a case, the requirements of this Division, other than section 156, do not apply.
