About the Skilled Worker Selection Program

The Skilled Worker Selection Program constitutes one of the main migration avenues for overseas workers and international students hoping to settle in Quebec. It is managed through the Arrima expression of interest portal, where foreign candidates create a profile and are ranked against other profiles inside the pool.

Quebec's ranking system tends to favor candidates with:

• Work experience in in-demand occupations,
• Proficiency in the French language,
• Studies or work in Quebec previously,
• or other eligibility requirements that facilitate integration within the province.
• Invitations are issued in periodic draws where only top-scoring candidates receive their selection.

Importance of This Draw

This latest Quebec Immigration Draw reflects the strategy of the province to fill in workforce shortages in important sectors such as healthcare, IT, and skilled trades. By bringing in highly qualified individuals, Quebec ensures that the newcomers are in a better position to integrate into the economy and contribute to local communities.

Next Steps for Invited Candidates

The candidate who received an invitation must now submit a complete application for permanent selection at the Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Francisation et de l'Intégration (MIFI) before the applicable deadline. In addition, they should also provide documents that support information declared in their Arrima profile.

Those who were not invited must keep their profiles active and updated in the event that future draws are based on prizes in other occupations, regions, or score ranges.

More draws are expected to happen in the year 2025, and candidates have to use the Quebec Points Calculator to ascertain their eligibility, try to improve their scores as much as possible.
