Applicants eligible and interested for immigration to Quebec can build and submit their profile in the Arrima portal, to be considered in draws for the Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Programme (QSWP or RSWP),
A candidate’s online profile is valid for one year after they submit it to the Arrima bank or pool.
