Quebec invites 83 in latest Arrima draw

On April 29, 2021, the province of Quebec in Canada held its latest round of invitations through the Arrima Expression of Interest System.

This is the third Arrima draw to be held by Quebec in 2021 so far. The previous Arrima draws this year were held on March 30, and January 26. Unlike the other 9 Canadian provinces, Quebec is not a part of the Provincial Nominee Program [PNP]. As per the Canada-Quebec Accord, Quebec has its own immigration program for the induction of newcomers into the province.

In latest April 29 Arrima draw, 83 Canada immigration hopefuls were issued invitations to apply for their Canadian permanent selection through Quebec.

Candidates were invited by the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration [MIFI] under the Regular Skilled Worker Program [RSWP] that had filed an Expression of Interest [EOI] profile in Arrima portal. Arrima is Quebec’s online registration portal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELATED
