Immigration : the Canada-Quebec Accord / revised by Martin McCallum.: YM32-10/2011-89-2024E-PDF

"Compared to later federal-provincial agreements, the Canada-Quebec Accord is also the most extensive. Under this Accord, for instance, Quebec has exclusive responsibility for selecting economic immigrants destined for that province - and for the criteria by which they are selected - rather than simply assessing and nominating some of them to address specific labour market and economic needs. Quebec, uniquely, sets the number of economic immigrants it will receive, rather than consulting with the federal government. It is also the only province that has selection authority over resettled refugees, while Canada identifies the pool of refugees for possible resettlement. This paper provides an overview of the Accord. It outlines the Accord's objectives and constitutional background, and it surveys the agreements made under the Accord about immigration levels, family reunification, refugees, visitors, the reception and integration of immigrants, and the ongoing administration of the Accord"--Executive summary, page ii.
