Quebec conducts its third Arrima draw of 2021

In the third Arrima draw of 2021, Quebec has invited 83 immigrants. The other two draws were conducted in January and March. These 83 people now have the opportunity to become eligible for a Quebec Selection Certificate. Immigration candidates who submitted an Expression of Interest to the Arrima portal through the Regular Skilled Worker immigration program of Quebec received invitations from the province. 

Quebec invited two groups of candidates through this Arrima draw:

• People with a genuine and valid job offer;
• People living in Quebec as a United Nations Representative, diplomat, consular officer, or a representative of any intergovernmental organization. 

The province has sent invitations to a total of 386 immigration candidates through the three Arrima draws. 

Quebec’s Arrima Portal

Arrima is an online portal that manages immigration applications for Quebec. When a candidate submits his or her profile in the Arrima, it is then assessed by the MIFI. And if candidates meet the labor market needs and the eligibility criteria, the province issues an invitation to them.  The immigration ministry of Quebec sends invitations to select candidates for permanent residence depending on the candidate’s score in the Values test and labor market requirements. 

Quebec’s Immigration Levels

For this year, Quebec has set the target to welcome around 47,500 new immigrants under its immigration program. Whereas the federal government aims to accept nearly 400,000 new permanent residents this year. Find out if you are eligible for any Canadian immigration programs
