(CBC) Immigrants to Canada who want to settle in Quebec will soon be required to pass a provincial values test.
Starting Jan. 1, immigrants will have to prove they have learned “democratic values and Quebec values” in order to obtain a selection certificate, the first step toward permanent residency for immigrants wanting to live in the province.
The test only pertains to the economic class of immigrants, which is overseen by the provincial government. It does not apply to immigrants coming to Quebec as refugees or through family reunification.
Economic immigrants and their accompanying family members will be required to pass the test if they want to move to Quebec.
