The Quebec Skilled Worker Program which is independent of the Canadian Skilled Migrant program has brought about amendments in the same. These recent changes were executed which is expected to make the selection criteria easier for the applicants to qualify.

The most important modification is the decrease in the pass mark for eligibility. For a single applicant, it is made 55 from 59 points and for 63 from 68 points for a couple. The points for academic qualifications have been broken further to incorporate and approve more of diplomas. So, diplomas obtained at the undergraduate level catering to one or two years of college or university education along with other technical diplomas are also being considered.

The Areas of Training category has been modified based on the present requirement of the Quebec economy and labor market. Initially, this category only catered to offering bonus points, incase the applicant has any specific technical skills. Here, the applicants would get a chance to increase their scope for priority processing.

The age criterion has also been modified accordingly to ensure that fewer points are deducted for applicants above the age of 35 years.

Age and the educational qualifications which are the two most important aspects in the eligibility criteria offer the maximum scope to qualify. This new system has brought a new lease of hope catering to more applications to qualify for the visa.
