Fill out and submit an official immigration application. In order to have your application approved, you must prove that you are aware of and can handle the challenges you will face in moving to Quebec. Among these challenges are knowing how to apply for jobs in your field, being able to afford the cost of immigration and having a basic understanding of the immigration process.
As part of your official application, you also will need to apply for permanent residence in Canada. This part of the form will be submitted separately, as it goes to the Canadian government rather than the Quebecois government.
Gather all your documents, brush up on your French and study Quebecois customs and society. You might also want to look into services and programs offered to newcomers, such as French lessons, information sessions and courses about integrating into the job market.
