Quebec Draw

Quebec Invitation

In the most recent Quebec Arrima draw on June 20, 2024, 1,470 candidates were invited to apply for permanent residency under the Regular Skilled Worker Program. To qualify, candidates needed a minimum score of 585 points and a level 7 or higher oral proficiency in French according to the Québec scale. This follows a previous draw on June 6, 2024, where 1,281 invitations were issued with a minimum score requirement of 587 points and the same French proficiency level. Quebec conducts these bi-weekly draws to address its immigration needs, with the size and score requirements varying based on the current application inventory. Successful candidates can then apply for a Quebec Selection Certificate, which is necessary to seek Canadian permanent residence from the federal government.

Here is a table summarizing the key details of the Quebec Arrima draws in 2024 based on the provided search results:

The ranking system aims to identify foreign nationals eligible to submit a permanent selection application based on the points they accumulate across several criteria groups.

How to Apply for Permanent Selection via the Regular Skilled Worker Program

After filing your expression of interest on Arrima, it will be added to the Expression of Interest bank. From this pool, individuals whose profiles align with Québec’s needs and demonstrate strong potential for integration into French society are invited to submit a permanent selection application. If invited, you will receive a message in your Arrima message centre with instructions on how to access and complete the application form. Invitations to submit an application can be issued at any time, so it is crucial to keep your expression of interest updated regularly. Be aware that providing inaccurate information in your declaration of interest may result in the cancellation of your invitation or the rejection of your application.

Invitations are extended based on several criteria, categorized primarily into human capital and labor market needs in Québec, as well as government priorities. Human capital criteria include knowledge of French, combined proficiency in French and English, age, professional experience length, and education level. Labor market needs and government priorities criteria encompass workforce diagnosis, training field, Québec diploma, professional experience length in Québec and the rest of Canada, and validated job offers, which may consider the employment location relative to the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal. Additionally, criteria related to a spouse or de facto spouse, such as knowledge of French and education level, are also considered. Other factors influencing invitations include the intended destination region within Québec and the profession practiced.
