Quebec is the only province in Canada with its own immigration system, which sets its own criteria for selecting candidates independently of the federal government. In 2023, Quebec intends to approve 52,500 candidates for immigration.
The Arrima system evaluates language skills (primarily French), age, work experience, education, occupation, and availability of a job offer in Quebec.
