According to the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC), Lori Bill Germa, 69, was unaccounted for during the 10 p.m. count at the Archambault Institution's minimum-security unit on Saturday.
The agency said Germa is serving an indeterminate sentence for first-degree murder.
Germa is described as having a fair complexion, brown eyes and no hair. He is 5′10″ tall and weighs 166 lbs.
Germa also has a scar on his left leg and multiple tattoos, including a sword tattoo on his left arm and two seahorses and a dragon on the right arm.
CSC said it contacted Quebec provincial police and a warrant has been issued for Germa's arrest.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is being asked to contact police.
The federal agency said in a news release that it will be launching an investigation into the incident.
This is the second time in less than a month that a convicted killer has escaped the facility.
On June 22, a 62-year-old inmate serving a life-sentence for second-degree murder, was also unaccounted for.
He was located and apprehended the next day by the Sûreté du Québec.
