The Canadian province of Quebec is the second largest populated province of the Maple Leaf Country and dominated by French-speaking people. It is the only province to have French as its official language. Of late, the interest of the Indian migrants in the province has been growing. There could be several reasons behind this growing fascination.

The Canadian beauty welcomes a large number of immigrants annually. However, the immigration process of this province is different and perhaps more demanding as well. The uniqueness of this province is that it is the only province that selects its immigrants through an initiative spearheaded by the Service d’Immigration du Québec, which regularly sends its officials on missions to select the best immigrant who can actively contribute towards the development of the provincial economy, and also contribute towards its social and cultural development.
