BIG QUEBEC IMMIGRATION UPDATE: Job Titles Matter Under Skilled Worker Stream 3

Quebec has released an updated official list of regulated professions under Stream 3 of the Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ). This update can directly affect who qualifies.

Your exact job title now matters, not just your NOC code.

What Has Changed
Quebec now clearly shows that:
Some occupations are fully regulated (all jobs under that NOC are regulated)

Some occupations are partially regulated (only specific job titles within the NOC are regulated)

This means applicants must pay close attention to:
Their exact job title
Their job duties
Whether professional licensing or authorization is required in Quebec

Examples of Affected Occupations (Selected)
This is not a full list, just common examples many applicants fall into.

Finance & Business
11100 – Financial Auditors and Accountants (some titles regulated)
11101 – Financial and Investment Analysts
11102 – Financial Advisors

Engineering & Applied Sciences
21300 – Civil Engineers
21301 – Mechanical Engineers
21310 – Electrical and Electronics Engineers
21311 – Computer Engineers (excluding software engineers)
Some roles require membership with Quebec’s engineering body.

Health, Therapy & Diagnostic Technologies
32100 – Opticians
32101 – Medical Laboratory Technologists
32109 – Other Therapy and Assessment Technicians
32110 – Denturists
32111 – Dental Hygienists
Most roles require licensing or professional recognition.

Why This Matters
✔ Clearer rules on who qualifies
✔ Some professionals can now assess eligibility better
Note: A wrong job title or duty mismatch can affect your application

What You Should Do
▪︎ Check your exact job title, not only your NOC
▪︎ Compare your job duties with Quebec’s definitions
▪︎ Confirm if professional licensing is required
▪︎ Get guidance before applying

Quebec’s message is clear:
