The Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program (RSWP) is for you if you wish to immigrate to Québec permanently to work.
For this program, you must declare your interest in immigrating to Québec to work. If your profile matches the criteria needed in Québec, you will receive an invitation to submit an application for permanent selection.
To be among those selected, you must have training and professional skills that will facilitate your job integration in Québec.
Other factors are considered, such as:
👉 Language proficiency
👉 Your age
👉 The characteristics of your spouse
👉 The presence of children
You must demonstrate that you meet the minimum score based on the selection grid published by Quebec. The minimum score required will depend on whether or not you are applying with your spouse. Applicants applying without a spouse or common-law partner must reach a minimum of 43 points on the employability factors and 50 points total. Applicants applying with a spouse or common-law partner must reach a minimum of 52 points on the employability factors and 59 points total.
If you can meet the minimum score as abovementioned, you may start you Expression of Interest using the Arrima Online Portal.
Once you have filed your expression of interest on Arrima, it will be placed in the Expression of Interest bank.
From this bank, people whose profile corresponds to Québec’s needs and who have good potential for integration are invited to submit an application for permanent selection.
If you are invited, you will receive a communication in your Arrima message centre with the information needed to access the form and submit a permanent selection application.
You may receive an invitation to submit your permanent selection application at any time. It is therefore important to regularly update your expression of interest.
Once you have received an invitation, you must fill out and submit the permanent selection application form. As of the date you receive the invitation, you have a maximum of 60 days to submit your application and pay the processing fees.
Once this timeframe has passed, your application will no longer be valid.
Your permanent selection application will be reviewed according to the Selection Grid for the Regular Skilled Worker Program. The selection grid has nine factors with different criteria for assessment. These factors enable an assessment of your potential for integration into the Québec labour market and society, as well as that of your accompanying spouse.
