2020-02-26 – Quebec has updated the list of occupations that qualify for its facilitated Labour Market Impact Assessment process through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
The new list applies as of February 24, 2020, although the Ministry of Immigration, Francisation and Integration (MIFI) has put in place a one-month transition period.
During the transition, candidates in occupations no longer included in the list can still be accepted under the facilitated process.
The facilitated process means Quebec employers can recruit Temporary Foreign Workers for selected positions without needing proof of recruitment efforts.
The list of occupations includes professions deemed in high demand and industry sectors with labour shortages.
It includes National Occupational Classification skill types 0, A and B.
Quebec’s immigration ministry updates the list of occupations annually.
MIFI has highlighted that some of the occupations on the list are also on the Global Talent Stream List of target occupations. These are highlight by an asterisk in the list.
Where an occupation qualifies for both processes, applications can be made under either process at the discretion of the employer.
