Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)for 🇱🇮 Liechtenstein citizens travelling to 🇨🇦 Canada
Liechtenstein citizens are required to obtain a Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) before travelling to Canada. Applications are submitted online through the official government portal; most applicants then attend a short appointment at a visa application centre to enrol biometrics (fingerprints and a photo) — the application itself is not lodged at an embassy or consulate.
