Quebec's immigration ministry released details of an immigration draw held February 24.
Quebec invited 306 skilled workers to apply for permanent selection on February 24.
The invitations were issued by the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) to immigration candidates applying under the Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program (QSWP).
Candidates had to have profiles in the Arrima Expression of Interest system with scores of at least 630 points and they had a valid job offer outside of the Montreal Metropolitan area.
The February 24 draw is the fourth of the year for Quebec and brings the number of invitations issued in 2022 to 1,663. Last year, a total of 3,564 candidates were invited to apply for the permanent selection by the province through Arrima.
This year’s plan calls for the admission of 49,500 to 52,500 immigrants across all immigration categories, as well as an additional 18,000 admissions to reach the admission levels that were not met by the federal government in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that more than 70,000 newcomers could be admitted to the province of Quebec in 2022.
