The Quebec skilled worker program is one of Canada's most prominent PNP programs. Quebec is Canada's largest province, located in the east-central region, and is the only region in the nation where the French language is widely spoken. Quebec has a developed open economy and is the world's 37th biggest economy, only behind Greece, and the 28th largest in terms of GDP. Quebec is one of North America's premier high-tech players, including businesses such as aircraft, computer technology and software, and multimedia. It employs over 145,000 people and is home to approximately 7,300 businesses.
Quebec plans to create 115,000 new jobs in the information and technology industries by 2017, and hence welcomes foreigners to join the workforce.
Quebec skilled worker is a regional nomination immigration program that permits people from all over the world to live and work in Quebec for the first time, contributing to the province's income development and labor market development.
