No,
Quebec
is
a
province
of
Canada
just
as
Gujarat
or
Punjab
is
the
state
of
India.
But
under
an
agreement
with
Canada,
Quebec
runs
its
own
immigration
program.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Permanent
immigration
processing
time
of
Quebec
is
far
less
than
that
of
Canada.
Where,
the
processing
time
for
permanent
residency
to
Canada
takes
3-4
years,
it
is
only
18-24
months
for
Quebec.
Moreover,
it
is
not
necessary
that
you
have
to
stay
in
Quebec
after
getting
permanent
residency.
You
can
move
anywhere
in
Canada
and
earn
your
livelihood.

|
|
|
|

|
|
First,
eligibility
criteria
of
Quebec
are
higher
than
that
of
Canada.
Second,
you
have
to
learn
French
as
the
interview
is
conducted
in
the
language.

The

of
a
permanent
resident
visa
and
his/her
accompanying
dependants
are
permitted
to
permanently
reside
any
where
in
Canada,
even
outside
Quebec
and
earn
a
livelihood.
They
may
attend
primary
and
secondary
education
institutions
in
the
various
provincially
administered
public
school
systems,
tuition
exempt
up
to
secondary
level.
They
also
qualify
for
provincially
administered
universal
health
care
coverage.
