Following months of monthly invites, Quebec appears to be picking up the pace by sending out record numbers of invitations via Arrima every week. Since August 12, Quebec had been holding Arrima draws every week, with a total of more than 500 candidates invited—significantly more than any other draw this year.
This is Quebec’s ninth draw of the season. The province has now invited a total of 2,664 applicants to apply for permanent selection.
What is the Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program?
The Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program is designed for skilled workers who are more likely to become economically established in the province. The program is popular with qualified professionals and international graduates who want to work in Quebec permanently.
Candidates who have been invited to apply for permanent selection must do so within six months of submitting all needed information for processing their application. All forms and documents are included in this category.
Candidates will receive a Certificat de sélection du Québec if they are successful (CSQ or Quebec Selection Certificate). They can then use this certificate to apply to the Canadian federal government for permanent residence.
Applicants who desire to settle in Quebec are evaluated using a different approach than those who wish to settle elsewhere in Canada. Quebec’s immigration policies are separate from those run by the federal government of Canada.
