Quebec’s immigration authorities have conducted another round of selections through the Arrima Expression of Interest system, issuing 1,415 invitations for Canadian immigration. The draw, held on August 8, 2024, targeted two specific groups of candidates.
The first group of candidates needed to have at least a level 7 proficiency in French, based on Quebec’s standards, and a minimum score of 576 points in the Quebec Expression of Interest system.
The second group also required a French proficiency level of 7 but focused on applicants with job offers outside the Montreal metropolitan area. For this group, there was no minimum points requirement.
Candidates interested in Quebec immigration begin by submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the Arrima portal. The submitted profiles are placed in an EOI pool and ranked using a points system. These profiles remain valid for 12 months, during which the highest-scoring candidates are periodically selected and called to apply for a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) under the Quebec Skilled Worker Program.
Invited candidates have 60 days to present a complete application. Those who successfully receive a CSQ can request the federal government for Canadian permanent residence.
The Quebec Expression of Interest points system is designed to evaluate and rank candidates based on human capital and labor market factors relevant to Quebec. Candidates can earn up to 1,320 points, with additional points available if they have a spouse or common-law partner. The system considers various factors, including language proficiency, age, work experience, and job offers within or outside Greater Montreal. Quebec regularly publishes lists of High Demand Occupations and Areas of Training, which play a key role in the evaluation process.
