Quebec operates a Regular Skilled Worker Program (QRSWP) for eligible skilled workers who can contribute to the province’s job market and economy. The QRSWP is a popular immigration option for immigrants aspiring to work and live in Quebec.
The regular invitation rounds select candidates for Quebec immigration by evaluating these criteria:
- Human capital
- Labor market needs
- Government priorities
- Destination region
- Occupational or professional experience
Interested candidates create an Expression of Interest profile and upload it on the Arrima portal. Quebec uses a point-based assessment system to select the top-ranking candidates from the EOI bank. Candidates receive notification through the Arrima message center with guidelines to apply for permanent residence.
Quebec enjoys autonomy in designing its immigration policies and programs. It operates a separate selection process for inviting the most appropriate candidates to address provincial needs.
