The government of Quebec has announced that by October 1, 2015, a new online tool will be available for applicants under the skilled worker program. This tool will allow eligible candidates to complete and submit an application online.

The opening date will be announced in the near future, candidates for the program will use this secure online space in order to make their application and monitor its processing in real time. The exact details of how this online system will operate have not yet been disclosed.

Moreover, the document checklist for the QSWP has been amended, since has the document checklist for the (Quebec Experience Program, or PEQ). Changes made to the document checklists come into effect immediately on all applications on which no final decision has been made.

Quebec has updated its documentation requirements, with fewer certified true copies of documents required, and more documents being able to be submitted in photocopied form.

Documents that until now had to be submitted as certified true copies, but may now be submitted as photocopies, include birth certificates, marital status certificates, work experience documentation, and results of language tests. Documents that are no longer required include work payslips from the candidate’s current employer.

A number of important documents are still required in the form of a certified true copy. These include tax documents, education records such as diplomas, and documents pertaining to any internship agreements, if applicable.
