Quebec stands second among the most popular provinces in Canada after Ontario and is among the 10 provinces of the nation. Most of the population in Quebec speaks in French as it is the only official language in this province. Quebec is known to have an open, market-oriented and advanced economy. The province has witnessed a great change in economy over the past decade with a solid base in knowledge. It holds one of the highest GDP growth rates in Canada.
To stay ahead in the growing economy, the province of Quebec must meet the needs of skilled workers in the job market. By having a special agreement with IRCC, Quebec nominates the qualified immigrants with required work experience and skills to live and work as a permanent resident in the province. Quebec Skilled Worker Program is the pathway to get immigration for those candidates.
The Quebec Skilled Worker Program is a PNP program which allows skilled immigrants to work and live in the province and gain permanent residency over there. Thanks to the special agreement with Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada, provinces can choose immigrants to adapt to live in the province well.

Minimum 50 points must be scored by an applicant according to this system. Minimum 59 points must be scored by an applicant having a common law partner or spouse. Applicants can be awarded with these points on the basis of credentials they submit. Here are the selection factors and maximum points for Quebec PNP program in 2021 –
