Applicants invited by the Quebec Ministry to apply for permanent selection under the Skilled Worker Program must accept the invitation within 30 days and submit their application with required documents and fees within specified deadlines. Two submission timelines apply depending on recognition of professional qualifications. Applicants are responsible for providing truthful information and may submit supporting documents for discretionary exemptions. Fees are payable by credit card and are non-refundable. Representation is optional and does not confer priority.

• Applicants have 30 days from the invitation date to accept or refuse the invitation to apply.
• If no response is given within 30 days, the expression of interest becomes invalid and is removed.
• After accepting the invitation, applicants have either 60 days or 1 year to submit their application depending on whether they have recognition of professional qualifications.
• Required documents must be submitted in a single color PDF file, in French or English, or accompanied by a certified translation.
• Applicants must pay non-refundable fees by credit card: $940 for the principal applicant, $201 for spouse or partner, and $201 per dependent child.
• Applicants are responsible for the accuracy of information; false or misleading information can lead to rejection and a 5-year ban on future applications.
• Applicants may submit documents supporting a discretionary exemption, which is exceptional and at the minister's prerogative.
• Using an immigration representative is optional and does not grant priority; both applicant and representative must have accounts on the Arrima platform.
