Under the 1991 Canada-Québec Accord on Immigration, the Québec government is responsible for the selection of immigrants who best meet Québec's immigration needs. As a result, skilled workers destined to the province of Québec are assessed under Québec’s selection criteria, which are different from the federal selection criteria. Under the Québec program, factors such as education, knowledge of French and employability and occupation mobility are given more weight.
