OBJECT: PROMOTION OF PERMANENT RESIDENCY

Madam, Sir,

Following the recent discussions between the Ministry of Immigration and cultural Communities
(MICC) and Montreal International (MI) it was agreed that the activity regarding the promotion of permanent residency will be modified.

That is why we wanted to inform you as quickly as possible that starting on December 31st 2011, MI will unfortunately no longer offer any assistance with Quebec’s selection certificate (CSQ), permanent residency nor work permits. This applies to all candidates except for employees working for companies who are private members of MI or any International organization in the Montreal region.

If you already have submitted your file to our offices, we will directly contact you by e-mail
to keep you posted of the continuation that will be given to your file.

The employees working for companies that are not private members of MI nor an International organization established in the Montreal region
can obtain all the information about the CSQ process on the MICC’s website:

http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle/permanent-workers/index.html

You can reach the MICC’s customer service at the following number: 514 864-9191.

If you have already obtained your CSQ, it is possible to receive information for the federal step of the permanent residency
by consulting Citizenship and immigration Canada’s (CIC) website:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/quebec/index.asp

The MICC’s call center can also answer your questions: 1-888-242 2100

Member companies of MI

However, it is important to note that this announcement does not apply to employees working for companies who are private members of MI or any International organization established in the Montreal region. MI will continue to offer the same assistance with Quebec’s selection certificate (CSQ), permanent residency as well as work permits.

The list of companies who are private members of MI or International organizations in Montreal are available by clicking on the following links:

Thank you for placing your trust in us for the last three years. We hope that MI was able to guide you in your immigration process which is, for you and your family members, a life changing experience. Hopefully we have succeeded to meet your greatest hopes and highest expectations in these last three years.

May we take this opportunity to wish you and your family Happy Holidays.

Please note that our offices will be closed starting December 23rd 2011 at noon until January 3rd 2012.

If you have any questions regarding this notice, please e-mail us at:

residence.permanente@montrealinternational.com

Considering that the end of the year is near, you will understand that we might not be able to get back to you before January.

Thank you for your understanding.

The International Mobility team of Montreal International
