Quebec 44 Professions

Quebec Facilitated IT program came to an end on February 24th; the 7 affected professions are now part of a newly announced facilitated labour market assessment process.

The new process, in effect now, includes a much broader range of 44 occupations, both in high tech and from other fields. It is an accelerated way for employers to hire foreign workers in Quebec, which importantly does not require employers to show local recruitment efforts.
Since proving local recruitment efforts were made by the employer can be difficult and time consuming, the 44 occupations that are now exempt from this requirement should be able to be filled much more quickly and easily by temporary foreign workers.
For occupations not on this list of exemptions, employers must still adhere to the regular foreign worker requirements proving that no Canadian is able to fill a particular position.
