Quebec held the latest largest Arrima reception of 2021

The Canadian province of Quebec has held the largest Arrima reception on August 12, 2021. The details of this admission have been published recently.

The Quebec Ministry of Immigration has issued invitations to 515 Skilled Worker applicants through the Regular Skilled Worker Program Quebec. Invitations are issued to applicants who have an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile in the online registration portal called Arrima.

In this admission, applicants who had one of the following conditions were invited:

• Their jobs have been announced in the list of jobs and they had at least 591 points in the bank expression of interest portal Arrima;
• They had a valid job offer outside the greater Montreal area;

What is the Arrima system?

The EOI is not an application, but simply a way for the applicant to declare his desire to the Quebec Ministry of Immigration to receive a Quebec Selection Certificate. In Arrima’s new EOI-based system, which replaces the previous system, applicants 18 and older who wish to immigrate to Quebec through the QESWP are profiled and scored based on the following factors:
