You may apply for citizenship on child's behalf after the child is in Canada and has a permanent residence status. CIC will request a letter of consent from your province showing that your province agrees to the adoption. The immigration visa will only be issued after the immigration mission in the child's country of origin receives this letter from your province.
6. Immigrating to Quebec as a skilled worker: Under the Canada-Quebec Accord on Immigration, Quebec is able to establish its own immigration requirements and select immigrants who will adapt well to living in Quebec. To come to Canada as a Quebec skilled worker, you must first apply to the Quebec government for a Certificat de sélection du Québec.
After you have been selected by Quebec, you have to make a separate application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for permanent residence. A CIC officer will assess your application based on Canadian immigration regulations.
