Stream 1: Highly Qualified and Specialized Skills

This stream attracted the largest share of invitations. The 1,094 seats were distributed across four sub-exercises, each with distinct eligibility criteria rooted in French language ability, Quebec study or work experience, and minimum point thresholds.

Candidates in Exercise 1 (459 invitations) needed a TEER 0, 1, or 2 occupation, at least 12 months of work experience, French proficiency at level 7 oral and level 5 written, and a minimum score of 677 points. They also needed to be residing in Quebec with a qualifying diploma earned in the province.

Exercise 2 (239 invitations) followed the same core requirements but targeted priority sectors including health, education, and early childhood roles. A reduced score threshold of 379 points applied to these occupations.

Exercise 3 (165 invitations) focused on engineering and skilled trades occupations with a minimum score of 666 points. Exercise 4 (231 invitations) was open to all TEER 0, 1, and 2 candidates residing in Quebec with diplomas, requiring at least 692 points.

Stream 2: Intermediate and Manual Skills

The 756 invitations in Stream 2 went to candidates in TEER 3, 4, or 5 occupations. These workers tend to be in trades, service, and support roles that Quebec communities rely on day to day.

All candidates needed oral French at level 5, at least 24 months of work experience including 12 months in Quebec, and an equivalent of a high school diploma or recognized vocational training. Exercise 1 (229 invitations) set the score bar at 624 points, while Exercise 2 (256 invitations) focused on healthcare support workers with a reduced threshold of 330 points.

Exercise 3 (90 invitations) targeted priority trades such as cooks, construction workers, heavy equipment operators, and cleaners, requiring 653 points. Exercise 4 (181 invitations) was open to all qualifying TEER 3 to 5 workers with at least 652 points.

Stream 3: Regulated Professions

This stream invited 677 individuals who plan to practise a regulated profession in Quebec. The five exercises in Stream 3 cover a wide spectrum, from physicians, nurses, and pharmacists to engineers, electricians, and other highly regulated technical professionals.

Priority health, education, and early childhood occupations qualified with as few as 275 points, showing how much Quebec values these workers. Engineering and trades professionals needed at least 556 points, while general regulated profession candidates needed a minimum of 562 to 580 points depending on the exercise.

Stream 4: Exceptional Talent

Only 22 invitations were issued under the Exceptional Talent stream, but this does not diminish their significance. Exercise 1 awarded 17 invitations to candidates who received a positive opinion from a MIFI partner in a targeted field and had at least 36 months of experience. Exercise 2 issued 5 invitations to individuals holding documented exceptional achievements along with doctoral-level education and 36 months of experience.

What Is the Quebec Arrima System?

The Arrima system is Quebec’s online expression of interest platform managed by the Ministere de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Integration (MIFI). It functions similarly to the federal Express Entry pool, but it is designed specifically for Quebec’s skilled worker selection program, known as the Programme de selection des travailleurs qualifies (PSTQ).

Through Arrima, candidates submit their profiles, and the province periodically conducts draws to invite those who meet specific criteria. Each invitation round targets different categories, from highly skilled professionals to regulated profession workers and even exceptionally talented individuals.

What Quebec Arrima Draw #84 Means for Aspiring Immigrants?

Quebec Arrima Draw #84 is more than a set of statistics. It represents real people getting a real opportunity to build their lives in one of Canada’s most vibrant and culturally rich provinces. Whether you are a nurse, an engineer, a chef, or a teacher, Quebec has made room for you.

The diversity of occupations invited in this draw reflects the province’s intention to fill specific labour gaps while welcoming talent in a structured and merit-based way. French language proficiency remains at the heart of the selection process, and that makes sense given Quebec’s unique linguistic identity.

If you have not yet registered in the Arrima pool, this draw is a strong signal to do so. With draws happening regularly and the province continuing to invite thousands of candidates each time, your chances of receiving an invitation grow with every qualifying profile you submit.
