The Quebec Government has come out with a new Immigration program to enhance PR status for overseas trained employees.

Yolande James, Quebec Immigration Minister confirmed the news, stating that their technology market is one of the facets which suffer from the deficit of skilled workers which leaves them with no option but to bank on workers from overseas workers in Canada.

This move would allow their economy to retain overseas workers and overcome the shortage faced by their technology sector too. The conference was also arrayed with executives from the technology sector including executives from Montreal International, which are involved in fulfilling the demands of skilled workers in the market.

Bernard de Jaham from Montreal International affirmed that the program would assist Quebec in fulfilling the shortage of skilled workers faced by its technology market. This way they don’t have to take assistance from the Canadian immigrants. He confirmed that the program would make it easy for the immigrants to get a certificate of selection, which is one of the most important facets to get a Permanent Residence.

The program is also draped with a marketing facet, which is clear from their tag line: MONTREAL: FOR YOUR CAREER AND FOR YOUR LIFE! In order to fulfill the eligibility criteria, immigrants need to have a work experience of a minimum of twelve months in Quebec, along with having proficiency in the French language. The speech was made at Montreal’s Science Centre.
