What Is the Difference Between a CSQ and Permanent Residence?
The CSQ (Quebec Selection Certificate) and Permanent Residence (PR) are two separate steps in Quebec’s immigration process.
- CSQ (Quebec Selection Certificate): A document issued by the Government of Quebec confirming that the province has selected you as an immigration candidate. The CSQ does not grant permanent resident status. It allows you to proceed to the next step.
- Permanent Residence (PR): After obtaining your CSQ, you must submit an application to the federal government (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada). The Government of Canada conducts medical, security, and background checks. If your application is approved, you become a permanent resident of Canada.
