International Mobility Program

What is the IMP+ Work Permit?

The IMP+ Work Permit (Programme de mobilité internationale plus) is designed to help skilled workers selected by Quebec move to Canada faster while their permanent residence application is still being processed.

This program allows eligible applicants who have received a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) to live and work in Quebec without waiting for final federal approval. It helps reduce delays and allows applicants to begin settling in Canada sooner.

Key Benefits of IMP+

The IMP+ Work Permit offers important advantages for applicants and their families:

  • Start working in Quebec while PR application is in process
  • Open work permit (work for most employers)
  • Faster relocation and settlement in Canada
  • Family members can apply for work or study permits
  • Valid for up to 3 years

This makes it easier for skilled workers to transition smoothly into the Canadian workforce.

To qualify for the IMP+ Work Permit, applicants must meet the following conditions:

  • Must be living outside Quebec at the time of application
  • Must hold a valid Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ)
  • Must be selected under an eligible Quebec immigration program
  • Must receive an invitation from Quebec’s immigration authority (MIFI)
  • Must submit a complete work permit application with required fees

Application Process

Applicants must follow a structured online process to apply for the IMP+ Work Permit:

  • Submit application online (in most cases)
  • Pay applicable fees (work permit, biometrics, etc.)
  • Create or log in to your online account
  • Complete required forms and questionnaires
  • Upload documents and submit application

Applicants should ensure all documents are accurate to avoid delays.

Important Conditions

The IMP+ Work Permit comes with certain restrictions and conditions:

  • Work permit is restricted to Quebec only
  • Applicants cannot work in other provinces
  • Annual application caps may apply
  • Approval depends on meeting all requirements

Planning ahead is important due to limited intake caps.
