What the PSTQ calculator is
Québec's Skilled Worker Selection Program ranks profiles in Arrima. A total score alone does not invite you if a stream gate is missed. This calculator estimates points from the published grid and flags hard minimums such as oral French.
Which stream scores you
Your occupation's TEER category and whether it is a regulated profession in Québec decide the stream. Each stream has its own gate.
Stream definitions and TEER mapping follow the Guide des procédures d'immigration, ch. 3 §1.
What moves the score most
| Factor | Typical max (solo) |
|---|---|
| French (4 competencies) | 200 |
| Diploma obtained in Québec | 200 |
| Work experience in Québec | 160 |
| Education level | 130 |
| Age | 120 |
| Occupational experience × labour diagnosis | 120 |
| Work experience (general) | 70 |
| Work outside Montréal metro | 60 |
Who this is for, concretely
If you are building an Arrima profile
Estimate your stream and score before you invest in tests or a move. The calculator shows which section is weak and what a Québec diploma or regional experience can add.
If your French is the blocker
English is not scored in the PSTQ. Use the TEF/TCF converter on the calculator site, then retest toward your stream's oral minimum.
