Quebec’s immigration authorities have recently conducted a selection round through the Arrima Expression of Interest (EOI) system, issuing 1,528 invitations for Canadian immigration. The draw, held on June 27 and based on data extracted as of June 25, focused on two specific groups of candidates.
The first group required candidates to demonstrate at least a level 7 proficiency in French, according to Quebec’s standards, and to have a minimum score of 581 on the Quebec Expression of Interest points system.
The second group also required a minimum French proficiency level of 7 but targeted applicants with job offers outside the Montreal metropolitan area. For this group, there was no minimum points requirement.
Prospective applicants begin the process by submitting an online Expression of Interest through the Arrima portal. Once submitted, profiles are placed in an EOI pool and ranked using a points system. These profiles remain valid for 12 months.
Periodically, candidates with the highest scores are selected and invited to apply for a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) under the Quebec Skilled Worker Program. Upon receiving an invitation, candidates have 60 days to submit a complete application.
Those who receive a CSQ can then apply to the federal government for Canadian permanent residence.
The Quebec Expression of Interest points system is designed to rank profiles submitted via the Arrima portal. The highest-ranked profiles are invited to apply for Quebec immigration under the Quebec Skilled Worker Program.
Candidates can earn up to 1,320 points along with their spouse or common-law partner. Points are awarded based on human capital and labor market criteria relevant to Quebec.
The points system evaluates candidates in two main categories: human capital and Quebec labor market factors.
Human capital factors include proficiency in French, combined proficiency in French and English, age, work experience, and educational background.
Quebec labor market factors include work experience in fields facing labor shortages, qualifications in areas of training specific to Quebec, education level attained in Quebec, professional expertise in Quebec, professional experience elsewhere in Canada, and job offers within or outside Greater Montreal.
