Quebec points calculator (PSTQ)

Score the principal applicant on Quebec's Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ) grid, which ranks Arrima profiles. French is scored on the Quebec 1–12 scale, per ability. This tool scores the principal applicant only — the province's full 1,400-point total also includes spouse factors and a French–English combination bonus, which are deliberately not added here, so treat this as a subtotal, not a final Arrima score.

The grid this calculator uses

Eligibility floors (not points): PSTQ Streams 1 and 3 require French oral level 7+ and written level 5+; Stream 2 requires French level 5; an accompanying spouse needs oral French level 4+. Meeting a floor does not guarantee an invitation — Quebec invites by published draw criteria and score. Spouse points and the French–English combination bonus are not included in this subtotal.
