Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)
The Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP), also known as the Regular Skilled Worker Program (RSWP), is designed for skilled workers wishing to immigrate to Quebec permanently. Unlike PNP programs, QSWP does not require a job offer, but priority is given to applicants with relevant work experience and education.
Quebec’s selection process is managed through the Arrima Portal, where applicants submit their profiles for consideration.
