ADVANTAGE OVER EXPRESS ENTRY
There aren’t a lot of options better than Quebec. You don’t need to demonstrate any settlement funds to the government when applying under QSW unlike what is obtainable in Express Entry, and you can send your IELTS months after submitting your file. This means, you don’t have to delay your application till your IELTS is ready.
When it comes to language test for applicants, the Quebec program is a lot more flexible and doesn’t require any minimum score unlike Express Entry. The Skilled Worker program is point-based, however, which means you still need to meet the minimum point requirement to apply. A high language score will boost your score and your chances of getting in.
- You don’t need to have a job offer
- You don’t have to be in the country to apply
- You don’t need to demonstrate any settlement funds
