If you\u2019ve been dreaming about starting a new life in Quebec, you might\u2019ve heard of the Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program (RSWP). This program was designed to help skilled workers and their families relocate, live, and work in this beautiful province. For many, it offered a clear path to Canadian permanent residency (PR)<\/a> <\/strong>and a fresh start in a new country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the catch: RSWP is now closed. Don\u2019t worry ,though, we\u2019ll walk you through what changed, why it changed, and what this means for your plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udea8 Important Update: RSWP Has Been Replaced<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Quebec\u2019s immigration system has been evolving. According to Quebec.ca<\/a>, the RSWP was renamed the Skilled Worker Selection Program (SWSP)<\/a><\/strong>, also called PSTQ, in November 2024. By August 2025, invitations under this program were being issued, but there was a pause in June to adjust Quebec\u2019s long-term immigration strategy (Canadian Immigration Services, Immigrant Qu\u00e9bec).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good news<\/strong>:
Starting July 2025, invitations resumed via the Arrima platform. If you updated your profile before November 29, 2024, you could receive an invitation. On August 14, 2025, a new round issued 277 invitations to eligible applicants (Envoy Global, Inc., Immigrant Qu\u00e9bec).
Staying on top of these invitations is key if you\u2019re ready to make the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Was the RSWP?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RSWP was a program for skilled workers worldwide who wanted to settle in Quebec. It is considered your:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Work experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Education<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Language skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Families could apply together, too. Here\u2019s a tip: French speakers had a better chance, since Quebec is primarily French-speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The program used a points system to select applicants. Points were awarded based on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Age<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Education<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Work experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Language proficiency<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Family ties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Applicants submitted their information through the Arrima portal. If selected, they received a Certificat de s\u00e9lection du Qu\u00e9bec (CSQ). With a CSQ, you could then apply to IRCC for Canadian PR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Why Did RSWP Change?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In late 2024, Quebec updated its immigration approach to better match labor market needs and help immigrants integrate faster into French-speaking society. The new SWSP replaced RSWP with updated rules, a revised points system, and streamlined application steps\u2014aimed at making immigration fairer and more effective for Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How RSWP Worked<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Here\u2019s a simple breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through Arrima.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Quebec evaluated your profile using the points system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. If you scored enough points, you received an invitation to apply for the CSQ.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. After obtaining the CSQ, you applied to IRCC for Canadian PR.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Think of it as a two-step process: first ge,t Quebec\u2019s approval (CSQ), then Canada\u2019s PR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What Factors Affected Your RSWP Points?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
        Factor<\/th>Maximum Points<\/th>Notes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
        Education<\/td>14<\/td>Higher degrees score more<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Work Experience<\/td>8<\/td>More years = more points<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Age<\/td>16<\/td>Younger applicants score higher<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Language Proficiency (French\/English)<\/td>22<\/td>French is key; English also counts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Ties to Quebec<\/td>8<\/td>Studying, working, or family in Quebec adds points<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Spouse\/Children<\/td>17<\/td>Spouse\u2019s education, language, and children count<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Financial Self-Sufficiency<\/td>1 (eliminatory)<\/td>Must show you can support yourself<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

        This system helped Quebec select applicants likely to thrive locally, especially French speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        RSWP vs Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Wondering how RSWP differed from FSWP? Here\u2019s a snapshot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
        Feature<\/th>RSWP (Quebec)<\/th>FSWP (Federal)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
        Jurisdiction<\/td>Quebec only<\/td>All provinces except Quebec<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Language Emphasis<\/td>French prioritized<\/td>English or French<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Selection<\/td>Points system<\/td>CRS under Express Entry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Certificate<\/td>CSQ required<\/td>No provincial certificate<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Job Offer<\/td>Not always required<\/td>Can give extra points<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Application<\/td>Two-step (CSQ \u2192 PR)<\/td>One-step (PR directly via IRCC)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

        RSWP was designed to help people thrive specifically in Quebec, while FSWP applies to other parts of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n

        \ud83d\udc65 A Real-Life Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Take Maria, a graphic designer from Spain. She updated her Arrima profile, highlighting her French skills and 5 years of work experience. When invitations resumed in July 2025, she received her CSQ, and just months later, she and her family were preparing to start their new life in Montreal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Final Thoughts About RSWP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        RSWP opened doors for skilled workers and their families to live in Quebec, rewarding education, experience, and French skills. While the program is now closed, SWSP continues this mission with updated rules and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Required Documents for RSWP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        When you applied for the Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program (RSWP), you needed to prepare some documents carefully. These documents helped prove your education, work experience, language, and ability to live in Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Common required documents included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Passport<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Education certificates<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Work experience proof<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Language test results (French or English test certificates)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Proof of ties to Quebec: family, study, or previous work in Quebec (if any).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Financial proof (bank statements or documents showing you can support yourself and family)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Marriage certificate and children\u2019s documents (if applying with family).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Having these ready and organized helped the process run smoother and increased your chances of selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Processing Time and Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          The RSWP process had two main steps: getting the Certificat de s\u00e9lection du Qu\u00e9bec (CSQ) and applying to IRCC for canada PR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Processing time:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Getting a CSQ could take several months after receiving the invitation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Federal PR application with IRCC could take additional months. The total process usually took about 12 to 18 months.
              <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Fees:<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Application fee for CSQ: around CAD 812 for the main applicant (family members had separate fees).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • IRCC PR fees: CAD 825 for the main applicant (plus fees for family members and biometrics).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
