Quebec picks its own skilled workers and Ottawa follows. You belong to this class if you plan to live in Quebec and Quebec has named you on a Certificat de sélection du Québec. There is no separate federal points test to pass. Family members travelling with you land as permanent residents once you do, provided each one is admissible.

Affects: Foreign nationals and permanent residents in Canada
