This is the first round of invitations held this month under the Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program (QSWP).

by the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de
l’Intégration (MIFI) needed to have filed an expression of interest (EI)
in the Arrima pool.

The November 11 invitations targeted candidates with a valid job
offer outside the Montréal Metropolitan area and those who reside in
Quebec as a diplomat, consular official, United Nations representative,
or representative of any intergovernmental organization operating in the
province.
The latest draw is Quebec’s 12th of the year and the second smallest
draw held so far by the province in 2021. In the second part of the
year, most draws invited over 500
immigration candidates. A total of 3,256 candidates have now been
invited to apply for permanent selection by the province through Arrima.
What is the Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program?
The Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program
is for skilled workers who are more likely to establish themselves
economically in the province. The program is popular among skilled
workers and international graduates who wish to immigrate permanently to
Quebec to work.
Candidates who are invited to apply for permanent selection have a
maximum of 60 days to submit their application and pay processing fees.
Quebec aims to process complete applications within 6 months, starting
on the date all the required information has been received. This
includes all forms and documents.
If successful, candidates will get a Certificat de sélection du Québec
(CSQ or Quebec Selection Certificate). They can then use this document
to apply for permanent residence to the Canadian federal government.
Those who wish to settle in Quebec, are assessed under a different
system than applicants who want to settle somewhere else in Canada.
Quebec’s immigration programs are managed by the province and are distinct from Canada’s federal programs.
Quebec admission targets for 2022
The plan calls for the admission of 49,500 to 52,500 immigrants in
2022 across all immigration categories, as well as an additional 18,000
admissions to reach the admission levels that were not met by the
federal government in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that
more than 70,000 newcomers could be admitted to the province of Quebec
in 2022.
