What is the next step after CSQ approval?

After receiving your CSQ, you’ll move on to the federal stage of the immigration process. Here's what happens next:

Step 1: Submit your permanent residence application to IRCC within 12 months of receiving your CSQ.

Step 2: IRCC will assess your medical history, criminal background, and security status.

Step 3: If approved, you’ll receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).

Step 4: Use the COPR to enter Canada and complete your landing as a permanent resident.

Step 5: Once in Quebec, you can access provincial services, such as health care and newcomer support programs.
