Description PICP program
What is the PICP program ?
The PICP program is intended primarily for potential and new immigrants.
Since we have observed from the past that it was sometimes easier for a new immigrant to sell their skills on their own rather than us finding a job for them they exercise their strength’s we added a cultural component to the starting your own business program of the Ministry of Education of Quebec.
The training is individualized and the specific plan is fit to measure available at the center or online.
Ideally, it should be initiated by the participant, several weeks before their arrival to Quebec.
