4. Canada – Quebec Accord
he Canada-Quebec Accord is a legal agreement concerning immigration issues between the federal government of Canada and the Province of Quebec. The broad accord signed in 1991 preceded similar agreements with other provinces including British Columbia and Manitoba. The arrangement gives Quebec the exclusive responsibility of choosing immigrants and refugees still living in their own countries but wishing to relocate to the province. Selected applicants are issued a “certificat de sélection du Québec”. Citizenship and Immigration Canada issues the actual visa after background and health verifications. The provinces also have agreements with the federal government in that they can nominate individuals for immigration purposes, similar to the way Quebec does.

6. Health Factors
Every potential economic immigrant to Canada must provide proof that they are in good health. A person may be refused entry to Canada if:
Their health could put the health of Canadians at risk — for example, they have tuberculosis.
They have a condition that could endanger public safety — for example, a mental disorder.
