Quebec is the only province in Canada with its own immigration system. The region itself sets the criteria for selecting applicants independently of the federal government. The province plans to admit 52,000 immigrants in 2023.
The Arrima immigration system evaluates criteria such as age, knowledge of languages (primarily French), work experience, occupation, education, and availability of a job offer in Quebec.
