I am a permanent resident
You’ve become a permanent resident – congrats! You’ve already made so much progress since you first arrived here, and you should be proud! So many opportunities lie ahead of you, like getting a job and settling down in one of Quebec’s stunning regions. Our integration advisors can also help you navigate the steps that lead to Canadian citizenship.
Here’s how we can support you.
Welcome and integration
You’re starting to feel at home in Quebec, but the journey isn’t over yet. Still need help navigating the social, cultural, and economic landscape? We’re here to understand your needs and help you get settled for the long-term.
French courses
To become a permanent resident, you had to demonstrate a certain level of French proficiency. Congrats! If you want to continue your learning journey for a smoother integration process or to obtain your Canadian citizenship, you’re in the right place. You can attend free French courses offered by MIFI onsite at PROMIS that are adapted to your schedule and fluency level.
Employment assistance
Your temporary work visa has run its course. Now, you can work for any employer you want anywhere in Quebec. Our team can help you find a fulfilling job through a number of services, from experience accreditation and CV writing to interview prep and employer referrals. We’ll be there every step of the way.
Family support
The PROMIS team can help you better understand family life in Quebec with practical themed workshops, cultural field trips, and social events with other immigrants. We can even help you through the process of bringing the rest of your family to Quebec.
Academic support
Everyone should feel happy and fulfilled at school – including your child. We can help with activities and mentorship that create an environment that supports their academic success.
Food action
Share delicious moments with other immigrants during our cooking workshops and courses, or at our community garden. Food education is the perfect recipe for an even smoother integration process.
Live in a non-metropolitan area
With your permanent resident card in hand, the entire province of Quebec is yours to call home. And the PROMIS team will be by your side to guide you through all of your options. Join one of our exploratory trips to discover a region that aligns with you and your family’s needs.
Immigrant entrepreneurship
Now that you’re a permanent resident, you can work anywhere in Quebec. And if you have an entrepreneurial spirit, you can start a business with support from our team. Training, workshops, networking … you’ll find it all right here.
Lodging for single women
If you’re a single woman looking for safe, affordable housing near all the amenities you need, the Maria-Goreti Residence is for you. Stay for any period of time between 3 months and 1 year in one of our 217 comfortable rooms.
Lend a hand
There are many ways to find your place in Quebec society. Volunteering is a rewarding activity that will help you better understand your new environment while supporting others.
