I'm a landed immigrant through the Federal Process, I've heard that in order to live in Quebec you need a Certificate du Selection du Quebec (CSQ)

I landed in Montreal originally without having a CSQ, but I am living in Toronto, I'm considering moving to Montreal due to job opportunities and provided that I also speak french

I guess since my residence papers say destination Toronto, CIC expects me to settle here, however I'd like to know if I can move to Montreal without any hassle or will be denied healthcare due to the lack of CSQ or will I have problems with CIC because I initally mentioned I was going to live in Toronto. I tried to check that with immigration, but they are not very clear on that, and looks like it is completely up to immigration Quebec.

Is there any problem about moving to Quebec as a resident without having a CSQ? If so, is there any way to change that?

Hi, I saw your reply and have a doubt. I have PR under CEC (Canada Experience Class). I am getting a job offer in Quebec. Since I am already PR and currently in Toronto , Can I move to Quebec and work ?

Please let me know. I was little confused since you mentioned federal process.

There is no problems to live and work in Quebec. This is my case. Federal immigrant but living in Quebec. My childrens go to school, medical coverage, etc.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

If you are a PR, you do not require a CSQ to live in Quebec.

You can find some helpful information in this previous Settlement.Org Can I Land in One City and Live in Another? Discussion Thread.


I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
