The
Québec-France Agreement on the Mutual Recognition of
Professional Qualifications is an innovative
agreement that marks a first between Europe and America.
It is a major building block of Québec’s
new economic space and
supports efforts aimed at negotiating an economic partnership
between the European Union and Canada.
Signed on October
17, 2008 by the President of the French Republic, Nicolas
Sarkozy, and the Premier of Québec, Jean Charest,
the Agreement is designed to facilitate and
accelerate the acquisition by people in France and Québec of a
permit to practise a profession, a function or regulated trade in the other
territory, through the adoption of a common procedure for
recognizing professional competence.
Since the signing of the Agreement in 2008, about a hundred professional authorities have applied this procedure to where there was an overall equivalence, the conclusion of an arrangement of mutual recognition of qualifications (MRA).
How to apply
We invite you
to consult the list of professions,
functions and trades for which an MRA has been signed.
If you
completed your training and obtained
your legal competence to practise
your profession or trade in France, and want to have your competence
recognized in Québec, see the
Ministère de l’Immigration et des
Communautés culturelles (MICC)
website for full details.
If you completed your training and
obtained your legal competence to
practise your profession or trade in
Québec, and want to have your
competence recognized in France, the
Office français de l’immigration et
de l’intégration (OFII) can answer
your questions.
