Hi All,

Currently I am working from India in a Software Company and providing services as a Vendor to my Client which is an Investment Bank who has their office in Montreal, Quebec province.

I hope to get my PR in next couple of months.

My question is around getting a first job in Montreal, Quebec via current Software Company in India for my current client an Investment Bank.

Am I eligible to land and work for my 1st job on PR in Montreal, Quebec ? or do I need to land first time outside Quebc ?
Do I need a valid job offer before landing in Quebec on PR ?
will I be eligible to get Medical and other services from Quebec province on NON-Quebec PR ?

thank you.

Hi

  1. Yes, but you probably should consider having your COPR extended if the Border is still closed to non essential travel See:
    Approved permanent resident applicants with expired or expiring documents If we already approved your permanent resident application but you can’t travel to Canada before your documents expire, use the Web form to tell us why you can’t travel.
    Once it’s possible for you to travel, use the Web form to let us know so we can tell you what to do next.

  2. If you arrive in Canada, you will have to go into isolation for 14 days, if you don;t have a viable isolation plan, you will not be admitted. Directly to isolation, no stopping for shopping.
    3 You can no longer apply for a SIN in person, you have to do it by mail.

Hi.

My family applied under the Quebec Investor immigration and have been approved and currently have just got our requests for medicals to be done.

I would like to land at Toronto Pearson Airport (we get special privileges along with extra weight if flying by EVA Air which does not go to Montreal) and after quarantine, we would like to drive over to Montreal for complete the formalities like getting our SIN card etc. Is this possible? I also will be traveling with a pet cat and would like to leave Whiskers with friends in Toronto before moving on to Montreal. We do intend to reside in Quebec eventually just that initially we would like to land at Toronto.

Any assistance is sincerely appreciated.
