5. Virtual waiting room
I want to access my account in Mon projet Québec, but I access a virtual waiting room. Why do I have to wait?
To allow you to keep your place in line during high traffic periods, we have set up a virtual waiting room to access Mon projet Québec.
When you connect to your account, you normally have a maximum of one hour to complete or change your application. After this allotted time, your session will expire. However, during the application intake period, you will have only 10 minutes to complete or change and submit your application.
Note that all applicants must pass through the virtual waiting room, even those with a validated job offer or who are temporary residents and authorized to submit an application for a Certificat de sélection du Québec.

The waiting time varies depending on the number of people already present in the virtual waiting room when you access it. This number will be displayed on the screen and allow you to follow your progress in the virtual waiting room. Note that this number is displayed for information purposes only.
How will I know when it is my turn?
An audible signal and an on-screen message will alert you when it is your turn. You will then be directed to the Connexion à votre compte page and you will have one hour to complete or change your application.

However, note that during high traffic periods, there may be a long waiting time.
Is it possible to reserve my place in the waiting room before the start of the application intake period?

After this re-initialization, the applicant will be directed to a transition page. On this page, a timer will be displayed indicating the time remaining before the applicant is automatically led to the waiting room.
All the numbers will be assigned when the waiting room opens for the intake period at 8:30 a.m. (Montréal time).

6. English and French tests
