Montréal · Immigration & newcomer guide

Prepare your move to Montréal with city resources, French-language planning and Québec immigration information.

Local newcomer support

Montréal’s moving resources are a municipal starting point for organizing a change of address and local services. Use the information for your borough alongside Québec’s settlement and immigration guidance.

Ville de Montréal — Moving

This is an independent resource, not a listed partner. Contact the organization directly to confirm eligibility, languages, appointment arrangements and any fees.

Plan your arrival

Plan for the borough where you will live and the language support your household needs. A move to Montréal and selection for Québec immigration are different processes. Keep questions about municipal services separate from questions about provincial selection and the federal application.

Your local planning checklist

  • Identify the borough for your future address.
  • List French-learning needs for work and daily life.
  • Check Québec-specific professional authorization when seeking advice.

Immigration pathways to research

Québec selection programs

Québec has its own selection system, including PSTQ and the limited PEQ reopening. Review French requirements and the selection process with MIFI. Federal admissibility and permanent residence steps follow provincial selection.

A city guide helps you plan a destination. Eligibility depends on the relevant immigration program and your circumstances. Use the pathway finder to organize your research, then confirm requirements at the official source.

PR cards, residency and citizenship

Already a permanent resident? Keep your address and travel records organized when planning a move. PR-card and citizenship applications use federal instructions; a city resource page does not replace those requirements.

Common planning questions

Can a settlement organization handle my immigration case?

Check the scope of the service. Settlement support, language learning and job-search assistance are different from paid immigration representation. If you need case advice, verify the representative’s authorization and agree on services and fees directly.

Verify an authorized representative

Can I request professional help for this destination?

Yes. Include your intended city, preferred language and the help you need in your enquiry. We review requests for a possible connection. These guides do not imply a local office or guaranteed provider availability; remote service depends on the professional.
