Quebec’s immigration authorities conducted a new selection round on August 8 through the Arrima Expression of Interest system. A total of 1,415 invitations were issued to candidates seeking Canadian immigration under the Quebec Skilled Worker Program.
The draw targeted two specific groups.
The first group consisted of candidates with a minimum French proficiency level of 7, per Quebec’s standards, and a score of at least 576 on the Quebec Expression of Interest points system.
The second group also required a French proficiency level of 7 but focused on applicants with job offers outside the Montreal metropolitan area. There was no minimum points requirement for this group.
The Arrima system operates through an online portal where prospective immigrants submit their Expression of Interest (EOI). These profiles are then ranked using a points-based system, with those scoring the highest being periodically selected for immigration invitations.
Candidates receiving invitations have 60 days to complete a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) application. Upon receiving the CSQ, they can apply to the federal government for Canadian permanent residence.
The Quebec Expression of Interest points system is crucial in ranking candidates. Points are awarded based on various factors, including human capital and Quebec labor market needs.
The evaluation system allows candidates and their spouses or common-law partners to earn points in age, work experience, and language proficiency categories. Candidates with job offers, especially outside Greater Montreal, also receive favorable consideration.
Quebec regularly publishes lists of high-demand occupations and areas of training, which significantly influence the evaluation process for immigration through the Arrima system.
