Quebec has launched a new scoring system to classify candidate profiles under the Arrima system.
Last week, the Ministry of Immigration, Francization and Integration of the Canadian province of Quebec (MIFI) announced innovations to the Arrima expression pool — it will now become easier to settle outside of Montreal. These changes have been introduced to further support the economic and social vitality of all regions of Quebec.
Immigration candidates who submit their profile to Arrima can receive up to 1,320 points, including 580 points for factors related to human capital and 740 points for factors related to Quebec labour market needs.
1. Human capital criteria include: fluency in French, bilingualism, age, professional experience and level of education.
2. Labour market factors include: work experience in an area where there is a shortage, study or work in Quebec, work experience in the rest of Canada and employment opportunities, employment within and outside the Greater Montreal area.
This last criterion carries important weight, as job offers outside the Montreal metropolitan area can score up to 380 and offers in Montreal itself can score 180.
