REGULAR PROGRAM SELECTION OF WORKERS QUALIFIED Program Overview The regular program of skilled worker selection is to select candidates whose profile meets market needs Quebec Labour. Another program, the experience Quebec is also the selection of skilled workers (SEE GPI 3-4). The regular program also aims to contribute to the achievement levels immigration, promoting the selection of young people, families, French and trained in areas of training demand in Quebec. It was designed according to the principles underlying the Quebec's immigration policy and the constraints operational.

2.1

The current labor market is characterized by rapid changes require high adaptability of the workforce. Also, the socio-professional workers are immigrants decisive in their process of integration into Quebec society and adaptation to the labor market. The regular program of selection of skilled workers is therefore primarily on those socio-professional characteristics of candidates. To this end, the factors considered for evaluation of the program are : Training, Experience, Age and Language Skills (French and English). Other factors that could facilitate job entry and integration Quebec society in general are also taken into account, namely: Living and family in Quebec, Job validated and Children. In addition, if applicants are accompanied by the factor features of the spouse or common-law partner accompanying is considered (this factor allows the evaluation of training, age and knowledge of the French spouse). In all cases, skilled candidates must hold at least a high school side and have the financial resources to meet their basic needs and those of family members who with it, for a specified period (requires the signature of the Contract on the financial self-sufficiency).

Taking into account the needs of the labor market is through the List of training areas associated with the criterion Areas of training Factor (Training) and for short-term needs, through the factor Validated job offer. Section 2.2 of this chapter lists the

areas of training linked to this criterion used for this purpose (SEE GPI 3 1, Section 2.2). The employability profile of candidates and training role role in the selection grid. Candidates who fail the Employability cutoff score are automatically rejected at the stage of preliminary examination. The procedure for assessing the factors and criteria are detailed in Section 3.3 of this chapter (see IPG 3-1, Section 3.3). 2.2 Presentation of the List of training areas List of areas of training accompanies the Regulations weighting applicable to the selection of foreign nationals. The list applies to all applicants assessed as part of regular program skilled workers. It is attached to the criterion of formation of the Domain selection grid for skilled workers and indicates the number of points assigned for each course with a diploma officially recognized. The list is intended to facilitate the selection of candidates skilled workers having acquired training leading to one or more occupations that offer good employment prospects in Quebec, to the extent that such training can meet short term requirements of the job market and where there is no other factors that may hinder the recruitment of these candidates in their field. Thus, a score differential is attributed to the training list based on their prospects for professional integration in Quebec. We find the list in Annex 1 of this chapter (see IPG 3-1, Appendix 1). It consists of two parts (I and II) distinguishing the areas of training as he is training with a diploma or a foreign Qubec diploma or equivalent to such a degree. In addition, it includes sections comprising the areas according to their score in the test area training, including: A section that allocates 16 points in the principal applicant and 4 points spouse; Section B allocates 12 points and principal applicant 3 points spouse; Section C that allocates 6 points to 2 points principal applicant and spouse;

Section D which allocates 2 points and 1 point principal applicant spouse (Only training sanctioned by diplomas or Quebec assimilated appear in this section); Section E, which allocates points to 0 the principal applicant and spouse (only training sanctioned by foreign degrees appear in this section).

List of training areas was established in four phases: 1. identification of areas of training using the training Quebec officially recognized by the competent authorities education in Quebec and leading directly to the labor market. These correspond to programs leading to a diploma professional high school of 900 hours or more and a diploma technical college 3 years issued by the Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports (MELS) of Qubec. They are also in training leading to a bachelor's First cycle of 3 years or more or, where appropriate, by a university Second cycle of 1.5 to 2 years issued by Quebec universities. This step has was conducted based on information obtained from the MELS; 2. establishing correspondence between the training and careers which they drive on the labor market in Quebec. This step has was conducted based on information provided by the MELS and Employment Qubec. Note that occupations correspond to the basic groups NOC) 2006 Human Resources and Social Development Canada; 3. the juxtaposition of employment opportunities for professionals in training. This step was performed from the perspectives of professional Job Quebec over a period of 5 years. These perspectives are determined by depending on the supply of labor (unemployed) estimated at beginning of period and demand for labor provided at period end (new jobs from the evolution of economic activity and jobs from replacement). They can be "very favorable" "Favorable", "acceptable", "restricted" or "very limited"; 4. awarding points to training based on job prospects professions to which they lead on the labor market and other factors that may affect the employment integration of immigrants workers, such as the possible difficulties in recognition, in the case of regulated professions or occupations, opportunities for access to the refresher training of short duration (1 year), the saturation level of

labor market in the professions, etc.. This step was carried out with the participation of Emploi-Qubec. The tags used in the scoring areas of training are defined as follows: 16 points, when the employment prospects of Occupations are "Favorable" or "very favorable" and that they are accessible in the short term (non-saturated labor market, training or refresher courses accessible, etc.).. These are areas with good prospects professional integration; 12 points, when the employment prospects of Occupations are "Acceptable almost positive" and that these professions are accessible to short term, or that the employment prospects of Occupations are "favorable" or "very favorable" and that they are less easily accessible short-term (labor market becoming saturated, etc.).. These are areas offering potential for integration professional moderately good; 6 points, when the employment prospects of Occupations are "Acceptable", "favorable" or "very favorable" but that these professions are not easily accessible in the short term (labor market saturated, training or refresher courses are difficult to access, etc.).. This is areas offering opportunities for professional integration fairly limited, but that offer opportunities to find employment less qualified or a related field; 0 points (foreign degrees) or 2 points (or similar degrees of Quebec) when the employment prospects of Occupations are "restricted" or "very limited", or that the employment prospects of directly or indirectly related professions are "acceptable" "Favorable" or "very favorable" and that they are difficult accessible. These are areas offering potential for integration professional limited. The general training will also see attribute this score, since they do not lead directly to the market work.

The list is reviewed periodically by the Policy and immigration programs in collaboration with Emploi-Qubec and Directorate of Integration and Professional Business Services ministry. Other agencies are also consulted on scores.

List of areas of training courses is an indication that offer the best opportunities for professional integration in Quebec. However, training getting a high score to the List of areas Training does not indicate that there is in these areas, a set of positions continuously available. Hold such training does not that the selected candidates will automatically receive a job in their arrival in Qubec or that they will be provided to conduct a job search can sometimes be quite long. Several candidates will also be launching a training level to develop skills appropriate to the context of market Quebec labor. Candidates wishing to exercise a profession or trade regulated in some cases may have difficulty meeting the requirements for obtaining a license to practice their profession or their profession. It is therefore impossible to achieve a perfect tie between jobs available in Quebec and the selection of candidates skilled workers using only the list of training areas. 2.3 Priority In order to accelerate the selection and arrival in Qubec of workers whose professional profile is a job application, the Department provides now a priority treatment to applications from candidates skilled workers who have graduated from one of the fields in List of preferred areas of training 2009 (SEE GPI 3-1, ANNEX 2), under certain conditions. This list is a subset of List of areas of training, 2009 but it contains no score. It corresponds to the areas of training that give the most points at the List of training areas in 2009 (Or 12 or 16 points) and distinguishes itself as well, those of foreign diplomas Quebec, or related to such degrees.

GRID QUALIFIED

3.1

Overview of the selection grid The selection grid consists of 10 factors that can be divided into criteria and sub-criteria (see IPG 3-1, Appendix 3). These factors are following: -Training -Experience -Age -Language skills -Stay and family in Quebec -Characteristics of the spouse or common-law partner accompanying -Validated job offer -Children -Financial self-sufficiency -Adaptability

3.2

General remarks on the assessment of factors The assessment of the selection factors is performed in two stages, in step preliminary examination and selection stage, for which thresholds distinct transition are established. At the stage of preliminary examination, the score is assigned on the basis of information contained in the Certificate Application selection (DCS) and the accompanying documents. This score is then reviewed in the selection stage to take account, in particular, changes occurred in the situation of the candidate. Thresholds apply from the qualifying stage of the preliminary examination to Formation factors (minimum requirement: high school diploma) and Capacity financial autonomy (agreement on the financial self-sufficiency completed), as well as general profile of employability of the candidate (threshold elimination of employability reached).

Adaptability factor can not be assessed from the documents and must be selection interview. A candidate may be selected if not on file need the points allocated to this factor to meet the pass mark in selection, if the documents attached to the request can attest to the accuracy of information provided and no additional verification is required. Include a candidate who does not qualify in the selection grid, but for which the Minister believes that the result does not reflect its opportunities to successfully settle in Quebec, may be selected by derogation (Articles 40 and 40.1 of the RSRE), without achieving a minimum points required (see IPG 3-5). The selection process and the conditions to meet the stages of the review screening and selection are presented in Section 4 of this chapter (SEE GPI 3-1, Section 4). 3.2.1 Evaluation of a spouse or partner, and inclusion of children charge When reviewing the immigration application, the official Immigration chooses the selection grid which applies to the situation candidate or the selection grid with no spouse or the spouse. These two grids differ in the presence, in the first grid, the factor Characteristics of the spouse or common-law and about the accompanying passing scores in selection to satisfy. Note that if the spouse not accompanying the principal applicant within the meaning of Article 1.k) of RSRE, that is ie if the spouse is not part of the applicant's immigration application, either because it does not wish to settle in Quebec, or because it is already permanent resident or Canadian citizen, selection grid has no spouse then be used.

In general, members of the family who do not accompany the principal applicant within the meaning of Section 1.k) of RSRE should be taken into account or in the evaluation factors and selection criteria, or in the calculation the amount subject to a financial commitment in terms of factor Financial self-sufficiency. The only exceptions to this rule: 1. dependent child citizen of the principal applicant or spouse factor under the Financial self-sufficiency. This must be considrdanslecalcul, qu'ilaccompagneounon;

The child Canadian citizen is taken into account if it is a factor in children dependent child who is part of the immigration project of the candidate and is domiciled abroad1. It will instead be considered the standard Family in Qubec if is domiciled in Qubec, whether dependent or not.

But if a minor, the Civil Code of Qubec provides that his home will be at his guardian. Parents are the guardians of their child, unless the authority has been given to another person.

The standard level of education will be eliminated. All candidates workers are qualified to be selected, hold at least a high corresponding to a high school diploma or general diploma professional studies in Quebec. Thus, those who do not obtain at least 2 points for this criterion are automatically rejected. Points are awarded to candidate by matching her degree in education Qubec. When the degree is abroad, the immigration officer establishes the correspondence from the comparative table of the degrees of the country relevant Centre of Expertise on training acquired outside Qubec (CEFAHQ) the Department or, if information is missing or does not exist table, from an opinion of CEFAHQ. We find the comparison tables Appendix 4 of this chapter for the main countries of immigration Quebec (see IPG 3-1, Appendix 4). To be awarded the points, the candidate must hold a diploma issued by the competent official authorities

education in the country where he got that diploma. In the case a degree of Qubec, it must be issued by the MELS (level school or college), a Quebec university for training acquired in Qubec or abroad, or an educational institution college recognized by the MELS for training acquired in Quebec. In addition, these diplomas must punish at least 1 year of full-time studies. If he has no degree, the candidate must have attained a level of education corresponding to a high school in Quebec, according to Table comparative degrees of CEFAHQ that applies to the country concerned or, where appropriate, the opinion of CEFAHQ and must have passed the course1.

In the event that a candidate holds several degrees, is that which gives the more points to the criterion level of education that must be taken into account, and this to promote the candidate. Notes: -All recognized diploma is eligible for evaluation of criterion level of education, regardless of the date of completion. It may be the same degree as that evaluated the test area of training, in the case where it meets the assessment criteria of the two. -The degree corresponding to an Attestation of Vocational Specialization (ASP) in Quebec, which can be obtained from the DEP (it is a specialty DEP), is evaluated in the same way that DEP. -The diploma that corresponds to the general college one year Quebec is assigned 2 points to this criterion. -The first doctoral cycle of 5 years in the areas of health (Eg medicine) gets 10 points for this criterion, the equivalent of a first cycle university. Note that the degrees obtained graduate after such PhD and sanctioning at least 1 year of full-time studies get 12 points. -The candidate who does not have a degree corresponding to a degree school in Quebec, but who holds a certificate equivalence of educational attainment of the fifth year of high school issued by the MELS, is assigned 2 points to the criterion level of education.

The evaluation of this criterion is from the list of areas of training MICC found in Appendix 1 of this chapter (see IPG 3-1, Appendix 1).

General information: -When a candidate has two degrees (or more) in areas of different training and meeting the requirements of evaluation is the one who provides the most points in the List of training areas must be taken into account. -If the diploma was issued more than five years before the filing of the DCS must determine whether the candidate has worked for at least one year a profession directly related to his training with a diploma, that is to say a profession for which there is a close match according to the National Occupational Classification (NOC). For example, if a candidate has a degree in biochemistry there are more than five years but it has the profession as a chemist, points will be awarded to him because the Bachelor's degree in biochemistry is related to the profession of chemist (NOC 2112). The LMI website online Emploi-Qubec provides information the professions (eg, nature of work, main features, conditions access) and connections between education and occupations by the NOC. The website Infoway FPT MELS also provides correspondence between training and vocational secondary college and technical occupations by the NOC.

-The rule in the previous paragraph for the degree of over 5 years are two exceptions: if the candidate has held a management position (large groups from 01 to 09 as defined in the NOC), or if it was research professor and assistant research at the university in their area of training, and demonstrates that he performed duties directly related to their area of training, the test points will be awarded; if the applicant has practiced a profession overqualified, but in line with its field of training, this occupation may permit the award of Field points to the criterion of training.

They can also prepare for specialized training (eg Diploma university general [DEUG] French, University Certificate Graduate [CUES] and University Certificate of Literary Studies [EUEB] Moroccan first cycle). Also, do not confuse a degree indicating a concentration or orientation with an honors degree. More general courses listed above may have guidance (eg mathematics, economics, letters) but they can be described as "specialties".

Work experience considered for the evaluation of the test duration experience must have been gained in a professional level jurisdiction over D, as defined in the NOC. In addition, they must have been acquired legally in the country and authenticity must be demonstrated. Points are also awarded for the following experiments: -those acquired full-time or part-time paid employment, and that, during the 5 years preceding the filing of the DCS; -work placements undertaken full time or part-time courses learning, training or specialization within a training leading to a degree, whether paid or unpaid, during the 5 years preceding the filing of the DCS. The appreciation of the experience criteria shall be based on evidence documentation submitted by the applicant, or certificates of work, employment contracts and other consistent evidence of the authenticity and legality of professional experience. In the case of a course of work performed in the studies, the applicant must provide a training agreement and a certificate of employment or, failing that, it must be specifically mentioned in his transcript that the course was completed.

There may be situations where the formula to calculate the equivalent time full work experience does not apply, especially when the schedule Working in a job has been variable, or when the number of hours made does not necessarily represent the actual workload of employment (Including teachers and artists under contract). In the first cases, can be used, if the schedule was not too irregular, the average number hours per week during the reference period. In the second case, must adjust upward the number of hours to accommodate activities related and others who have the job done. For example, in university to the classroom teacher, taking into account the time allocated to course preparation and the "research" can make that such employment is considered a full-time job, even if the expense related to education is less than 10 hours per week.

If no NOC has been assigned according to the criterion Domain training, the immigration officer shall record in the system Department's computer code of the profession (4-digit NOC) that is either the experience of the candidate in a related field or related to his training, or experience gained by longer it.
