How Does Quebec Expression of Interest Work?

Candidates submit an online expression of interest profile via Arrima.
Profiles enter into an Expression of Interest pool, where they are ranked against each other using a points system and are valid for 12-months.
The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for a Quebec Certificate of Selection under the Quebec Skilled Worker Program via periodic draws.
Candidates receiving an invitation have 60 days to submit a full application.
Approved candidates who receive a nomination certificate (CSQ) may then apply to the federal government for Canadian permanent residence.
