More than 18,100 files from the economic immigration category in Quebec that were submitted before August 2, 2018, and are still pending processing have led to the suspension of the Arrima portal for the selection of new candidates.

The legislation requires the province’s Immigration Ministry to handle requests in the chronological order in which they were registered. In an optimistic scenario, these 18,100 still-pending files could be handled in six months at the earliest. However, if no urgent measures are taken, it could take almost three years.
