Taking steps to integrate successfully into Québec

As soon as your status as a refugee or humanitarian-protected person is recognized, you have access to services geared to ease your integration. These services are offered by the Department, its institutional partners or community organizations:

Information sessions for new immigrants
French courses for non-French-speakers
Services offered by community organizations
Information services on regulated professions and trades

As soon as you receive your CSQ, you will have access to a wider range of government services.

• Health insurance covered by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec
• Access to post-secondary studies (with no surcharge) and financial assistance program for students
• Child support program
• Emploi-Québec employability measures.
