On November 28, 2025, the Quebec Ministry of Immigration, Francisation et Integration (MIFI) published the results of a new invitation round in Quebec’s online system Arrima.
In this draw, the province issued six supplementary invitations for permanent selection under special provisions of the Quebec Immigration Act.
These candidates were originally scheduled to receive their invitations during the July 31 selection round; however, a technical issue in the system delayed their issuance at that time.
This year, MIFI invited 1,040 candidates under Arrima. Since the launch of Arrima in July 2019, the Government of Quebec has invited 56,877 foreign nationals in 78 draws to apply for immigration to Quebec.

The province of Manitoba recently conducted its Expression of Interest (EOI) Draw #258, part of the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), as it continues its efforts to strengthen its skilled workforce. This draw serves as a critical mechanism for selecting candidates who possess the necessary skills and qualifications to meet specific labor market demands within the province.
The Manitoba PNP system plays a vital role in addressing labor shortages across various sectors. By regularly inviting candidates through the EOI system, the province can efficiently select individuals whose profiles align closely with current economic needs. This strategic approach ensures that immigration contributes directly to supporting local businesses and fostering economic growth, rather than creating additional strain on existing services.
Through the Expression of Interest process, candidates are evaluated based on a comprehensive set of criteria, including education level, professional experience, language proficiency, and ties to Manitoba. Draw #258 confirms the province's ongoing commitment to this systematic selection process. It allows Manitoba to identify high-potential newcomers who are most likely to successfully integrate into the local community and labor force.
This consistent application of targeted immigration policies through regular draws demonstrates Manitoba's dedication to maintaining a stable and growing economy. The program aims to ensure that selected individuals not only contribute their skills immediately but also plan for long-term settlement, further enriching the province’s diverse population base and supporting sustainable economic development.

Prince Edward Island (PEI) recently conducted its latest draw for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), issuing invitations to 190 candidates. This selection event marks another significant step in the province's efforts to attract skilled immigrants and address specific labor market needs through its immigration streams. The PNP draw system allows provinces to select individuals who meet specific criteria, offering them a vital pathway to permanent residency in Canada, thereby supporting economic development across the island.
The invitations issued in this draw represent a substantial opportunity for the selected candidates. Receiving a provincial nomination provides a significant advantage when applying for permanent residency through the federal Express Entry system. By receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for nomination, these candidates are prioritized by the province, recognizing their potential contributions to the local economy and community. This selection process is highly competitive, reflecting the growing demand for immigration to Canada's smaller provinces.
This recent draw reinforces PEI's commitment to strategic immigration planning. The 190 invitations issued demonstrate continued efforts to build a robust workforce and sustainable population growth. The Prince Edward Island PNP remains a key driver in welcoming newcomers who can help fill essential roles in various sectors, contributing to the province's economic resilience.
