IMMIGRATE TO QUEBEC AS AN INVESTOR

The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) has been Canada’s leading business immigration initiative for nearly 40 years. This program targets seasoned investors with substantial assets and personal net worth, allowing them to invest in the province of Quebec.

This program is aimed at seasoned investors with substantial assets looking to invest in Quebec. The immigration process for investors in Quebec is divided into two stages: first, receiving a Notice of Intention to Select from Quebec, and second, obtaining the Quebec Selection Certificate.

• Investment Agreement: Enter into an investment agreement with an approved financial intermediary who will make the investment and pay the financial contribution on your behalf.
• Management Experience: Have at least two years of management experience within the five years preceding the application, excluding inadmissible sectors.
• Net Worth: Demonstrate a net worth of at least CAD 2,000,000, excluding recent gifts, and prove the lawful origin of this wealth. Your spouse must also prove the lawful origin of their net worth, even if their assets are not needed to meet the minimum requirement.
• Education: Hold a diploma equivalent to at least a high school diploma from Quebec.
• Language Proficiency: Have oral French skills at a minimum of level 7 on the Quebec Scale.

Additional Conditions:

• Democratic Values: Obtain a certificate of knowledge of democratic and Quebec values.
• Investment and Contribution: Your financial intermediary must make a five-year term investment of CAD 1,000,000 and contribute CAD 200,000 to Investissement Québec Immigrants Investisseurs Inc.
• Residency Requirement: Reside in Quebec for at least 12 months within two years of receiving the work permit. Out of these 12 months, you must spend at least 6 months in Quebec, with the remaining 6 months possibly spent by you or your spouse.
