Do you wish to migrate to Quebec? Here is the detailed information about the Quebec Immigration in an understandable format.

1. QUEBEC

2. OVERVIEW
The province of Quebec is a French-speaking province, but
immigration to Quebec is not limited to French speakers. Quebec
has several different immigration programs for workers, students,
and businesspeople. We’ve prepared this guide to give you an
overview of Quebec’s immigration options.
While French is not a mandatory requirement for those looking to
immigrate to Quebec, it is advantageous. Most of Quebec’s
immigration programs prioritize those with demonstrated French-
language proficiency.
Developed by the Government of Quebec and the Canadian Federal
Government, the Quebec Skilled Worker Program
(QSWP) enables highly educated and trained foreign nationals to
immigrate to Quebec as skilled workers. Prospective immigrants who
apply to the Skilled Worker Quebec Program are evaluated
according to a selection grid of factors, and applicants who score
enough points are given a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) which
they can then use to apply for Canadian permanent residency.

3. Quebec Skilled Worker Eligibility
Eligibility for the Quebec Immigration Skilled Worker Program is
determined by nine selection factors. Quebec Skilled Worker
Program points are awarded according to these Immigration
Quebec selection criteria in order to identify which possible
immigrants are most likely to flourish economically once in
Quebec. To qualify for immigration to Canada as a Quebec-
selected skilled worker, a solo applicant must score at least
50 points. Potential immigrants who apply with a spouse or a
common-law partner must score at least 59 points in order to be
eligible for the QSW Program

4. New step in the launch of the declaration of
interest system based on invitation criteria
in Arrima- July 2021
• Quebec has launched a new points system to rank the profiles of
immigration candidates in the Arrima expression of interest pool.
• Up to 1,320 points are available, of which 580 are for human capital
factors and 740 for factors related to Quebec’s labour market needs.
• The human capital criteria include French language ability, bilingual
ability, age, work experience, and education.
• The labour market factors include work experience in a field where
there is a shortage, education in Quebec, work experience in the rest
of Canada, and job opportunities inside and outside the Greater
Montreal area.
• This last criterion carries significant weight since job offers outside the
Montreal metropolitan area can be worth up to 380 points, while offers
in Montreal obtain 180 points.

5. List of criteria and their score
Related to human capital, namely
• Knowledge of French
• Knowledge of French and English
• Age
• Length of professional experience
• Level of education
Related to the needs of the labour market in Québec and to changing
government priorities (e.g., having an occupation considered to be in
complete or slight shortage of workforce in Québec or having a good
knowledge of French), namely
• Workforce diagnosis combined, if applicable, with the length of
experience in the profession practiced
• Field of training
• Québec diploma
• Length of professional experience in Québec
• Length of professional experience in the rest of Canada

depending on whether it is located inside or outside the territory of
Greater Montréal

6. Related to the spouse or de-facto spouse (if applicable),
namely
• Knowledge of French
• Level of education

Certain invitations can also be sent based on criteria such
as: the destination region in Québec;
Profession practiced.

profile. Then, these criteria can be used to classify
people in the expression of interest bank. People can
thus be invited, in particular on the basis of their score.
