The instructions have been reformatted to put the Eligibility requirements section at the top for easier reference by officers.

In addition, the following changes have been made:

  • The Eligibility requirements section was updated to include the following new codes as options for section 9 of the CSQ when it’s submitted with the work permit application:
    • IU – Préposé aux bénéficiaires – Volet travailleur étranger
    • IR – Préposé aux bénéficiaires – Volet diplômé du QC
    • IX – Travailleur – Transformation alimentaire
    • IV – Intelligence artificielle – Volet travailleur étranger
    • IW – Intelligence artificielle – Volet diplômé du QC
    • IS – Travailleur – TI – Effets visuels
  • Temporary residents in Canada who meet the eligibility requirements of an active public policy and of this Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) exemption may now apply.
  • The instructions related to spouses and common-law partners were removed. Officers must refer to the Spouses or common-law partners of CSQ holders instructions for guidance related to spousal open work permits. Spouses and common-law partners are eligible for an open work permit under the LMIA exemption code C41.
