Québec PRTQ invitation criteria reformed

In force Visa & immigration

Québec's Ministry of Immigration, Francisation and Integration reformed the Arrima invitation process from late 2024 — greater emphasis on francisation (French-language ability), targeted shortage-occupation streams, and streamlined processing for in-Québec CSQ applicants. Implementation continued through 2025.

Who it affects
