Quebec immigration has recently made significant revisions to its Areas of Training list. The above move signifies its continues emphasis on selecting only those applicants who are skilled so that these applicants can help meet present as well as future labor market demand. Meeting labor market needs is vital because only then the nation would be able to build an economy which is prosperous and everyone can benefit out of it.

The Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) points grid consists of ten factors, areas of Training is one of the factors.

The above factor particularly helps in judging the level of training of the candidate in the area; they have applied or desire to apply for a job. The applicant would be awarded maximum 12 points based on the applicant’s, secondary-level vocational, college, and university Degree either from an educational institution from Quebec or from other foreign nations.
