SOURCE-BACKED ANSWER

How do I complete Québec Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ)?

The PSTQ has four streams. Start with an Arrima expression of interest, confirm occupation and French requirements, and wait for an invitation before a permanent-selection application. Start with the reviewed official source, follow the current actions and submit through your own government account.

Practical order

1. 1

   Identify the NOC code and TEER category of your main occupation, then read the general requirements and the exact conditions of the applicable PSTQ stream.

2. 2

   Confirm the current French requirement and obtain an accepted, valid result or other accepted evidence where the stream requires it.

3. 3

   Gather passport, education, five-year work history, spouse and child facts, validated job offer and regulatory-authority evidence that may apply.

4. 4

   Create your own Arrima account and complete the free expression of interest within 90 days of creating it.

5. 5

   Submit the expression of interest, keep it accurate and monitor Arrima. It remains valid for 12 months and does not guarantee an invitation.

6. 6

   If invited, accept within the stated 30-day period and use the second Arrima message to open the permanent-selection application.
