An introduction to the occupational restrictions of self-employed immigrants in Quebec, Canada

Self-employed immigrants in Quebec have no restrictions on the applicant's major, or they are treated as extra points or less points. This statement means that compared with Quebec skilled immigrants, applicants are treated with different scores in their majors.

The restriction of Quebec self-employed immigrants on the applicant's occupation is that the applicant must be able to engage in the same occupation in Quebec in domestic occupations. This requirement excludes some qualified occupations. For example, in the legal profession, Quebec requires practitioners to have a Quebec lawyer's license, while domestic applicants usually don't have a Quebec lawyer's license, which means they can't practice as lawyers in Quebec, so this applicant can't apply for self-employed immigrants in Quebec. Similar occupations are: doctors, nurses, pharmacists, certified public accountants, asset appraisers, architectural designers and other professionals; And those state officials, such as police and judges. Whether these industries can continue to engage in Quebec, we all have a basic judgment.

However, not all industries have such obvious qualification restrictions. For example, Chinese medicine has no qualification restrictions in Quebec and can practice freely in Quebec. On the other hand, there are no strict qualification restrictions on real estate agents in China, but Quebec has strict qualification examination.
