New list of in-demand occupations of Quebec
As you know, the LMIA procedure is not simple and less painful if a foreign worker belongs to one of the in-demand professions. The list of popular professions in Quebec changes annually, here is the latest news by this hour: a few days ago a new list of in-demand occupations came out, which will be valid for the whole year of 2019.
