Economic immigration
Quebec’s own investor and entrepreneur programs, with a federal permanent residence step after Quebec selects you.
Quebec says you can apply at any time. Federal processing for this class is very long, so plan well ahead.
Provinces and territories nominate people who fit their own labour needs. A nomination through an Express Entry-linked stream adds 600 CRS points.
Open. Each province runs its own streams and intake rounds, and several changed or paused streams in 2026, so check your province.
Quebec chooses its own skilled workers through the Arrima portal. Once Quebec selects you (a CSQ), you apply to IRCC for permanent residence.
Open. Quebec holds regular invitation rounds through Arrima.
Statuses change, sometimes with little notice. Always confirm on the official page before you apply. This is general information, not legal advice.
