What is the Quebec Arrima System?
The Quebec Arrima System is a free online platform that Quebec uses to handle applications from qualified workers. It works like the federal Express Entry system, but Quebec has its way of scoring applicants.
If you want to participate in the upcoming draws for the Regular Skilled Worker Program (QSWP or RSWP), you can make your Arrima profile if you meet the eligibility criteria.
Check your eligibility using the official Quebec Arrima assessment tool by clicking here.
Your Arrima bank or pool profile is valid for only one year after you make it. If you’re invited to a draw, send in your documents to back up the info in your profile.
Once that’s done, you’ll receive a Certificat de sélection (CSQ). With this CSQ, you can apply for permanent residence with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
