Under Base PNPs, below is the list of programs to which a candidate can choose to apply:

Migrate to Canada – QSWP
Officially referred to as the Regular Skilled Worker Program (RSWP), the Quebec Skilled Worker Program is for you if you intend to immigrate to Quebec permanently to work.
An interest in immigrating to Quebec must be declared as the first part of the process. Those with the training and professional skills to facilitate their job integration in the province are then selected by Quebec and issued an invitation to apply.
- Invitation rounds by Quebec are held through the Arrima Portal. As such, provincial draws by Quebec are also referred to as the Arrima draw.
- Through the QSWP, skilled workers can apply for the Quebec Selection Certificate or Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ). It is not necessary for applicants to have a valid job offer to migrate to Quebec. However, those with a job offer are given higher priority.
- The QSWP is also based on a points-based system like the Express Entry System.
- Quebec has its own eligibility requirements to apply for Permanent Residence, and it is not a part of Canada's Canadian PNP.
