Arrima – Know what is it

1. Arrima started in 2018. It was started towards receiving the EOI (Expression of Interest) profiles for the QSWP (Quebec Skilled Worker Program) and manage the pool of these candidates.
2. The Expression of Interest is not an application. It is how the Quebec Ministry of Immigration notifies candidates that they are considered for the Quebec Selection Certificate or CSQ (Certificat de sélection du Québec)
3. Candidates can apply for PR Quebec through the CSQ.
4. The ‘first come, first serve’ approach of accepting applications towards the Quebec Skilled Worker Program was replaced by Arrima.
5. Under Arrima’s EOI system, candidates who create a profile get points based on factors like Education, Age, Area of Training, French proficiency and Work experience.
6. After this, the candidates are allowed to apply for the CSQ based on the scores secured or based on the shortage of labour in the outlying regions of the province.
7. Candidates can apply for a PR only if they receive a CSQ from the Canadian Federal Immigration Ministry, which also scrutinizes criminal and medical history.
