Quebec issued invitations to apply for selection under the Regular Skilled Worker Program to 233 immigration candidates on December 16.
Details of the latest draw were released today. Invitations were issued to candidates who had an Expression of Interest (EOI) in Quebec’s online registration portal, Arrima.
There were two categories of candidates invited in the latest draw. The first group needed to have a validated offer of employment. The second included people who were staying in Quebec as a diplomat, consular officer, a representative for the United Nations or any intergovernmental organization that carries out operations in Quebec. The draw could have also included people who are members of the staff of any such official, as these occupations are also covered under Section 26 of the Quebec Immigration Regulation.
To immigrate to Quebec under the Regular Skilled Worker Program (RSWP), candidates must first submit an EOI through Arrima. The Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) reviews the bank of profiles and issues invitations to those who meet specific criteria based on labour market needs in Quebec.
Quebec’s immigration programs are managed by the province based on selection criteria and processes that are distinct from Canada’s immigration programs.
