Quebec Expression of Interest system
Quebec introduced Arrima system in 2018 with an aim to receive Expression of Interest (EoI) profiles for Quebec Skilled Worker Program(QSWP) and manage its pool of candidates. Expression of Interest is not really an application. On the other hand, it is a way for a candidate to notify the Quebec Ministry of Immigration that they would like to be considered for a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ). With a CSQ, the candidate can apply to settle down in Quebec permanently.
Under the EoI system, a candidate creates an Expression of Interest (EoI) profile in Arrima portal. Based on the information provided in the EoI, the candidate is awarded a score after being assessed on a number of human capital factors such as age, education, training, work experience and proficiency in French.
Candidates are then invited to apply for a CSQ in the invitation round conducted by the Quebec’s Ministry of Immigration. Candidates to be invited are selected either on the basis of their scores or factors such as labour shortages in the outlying regions of Quebec.
The candidates who successfully apply for a CSQ and receive the same can apply for permanent residence to the federal government within 60 days. The candidates are awarded permanent residence after verifying their medical and criminal admissibility.
