Quebec’s “values test” is now in effect for immigrants settling in Quebec. All newcomers will have to pass the test before their application will continue moving forward. Candidates will have to be taken within 2 years before they are able to apply for Canadian Permanent Residency. 20 questions will be chosen out of 100, consisting of true/false and multiple and must be completed within 90 minutes. A passing score of 75 per cent is required. Although controversial, the values test is said to fast-track newcomers to “better meet employers’ needs”.
