Latest Quebec Arrima draw invites 83 immigrants

The Province of Quebec issues 83 invitations to skilled immigrants for permanent residency.

The Ministry of Immigration, Francization, and Integration (MIFI) invited applicants from Quebec's Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) who had submitted an expression of interest (EOI) on the online registration portal from Quebec, Arrima.

Quebec invites candidates from two categories:

• Those who had a validated job offer; and
• Those who were in Quebec as a diplomat, consular official, representative of the United Nations or representative of any intergovernmental organization carrying out activities in the province, and their staff.

The latest round of invitations is the third draw held by Quebec this year. The other two draws took place on March 30 and January 26. A total of 386 applicants have now been invited to apply for permanent selection by the province in 2021.
