502 candidates invited for Quebec immigration via permanent selection

Quebec, Canada’s francophone province held a round of invitations on August 19, 2021. In the draw, MIFI invited 502 immigration candidates to file applications for permanent selection.

Unlike other provinces of Canada, Quebec immigration happens to be managed by its own body known as MIFI. In the August 19 draw, MIFI invited immigration candidates under the QSWP.

A joint venture of the Quebec government and the Canadian government, QSWP enables the highly educated and trained foreigners to do Quebec immigration as skilled workers.

Criteria for eligible candidates

Candidates had to register their EOI in Arrima, Quebec’s online registration portal. An EOI registration will convey to the province that you are interested in Quebec immigration. In that case, Quebec would be glad to issue an invitation to you to apply for permanent selection.
