Quebec Investor Program


Home / Canada Immigration / Quebec Investor Program

Quebec Investor Program was created by the Quebec government in 1986 in order to favor the unconditional entry of businesspeople and their families to Quebec as permanent residents. Under this program, potential investors who agree to respect certain requirements and make a passive investment will obtain permanent resident status in Canada along with their dependent family members.

REQUIREMENTS

1) Demonstration of minimum 2 (two) years business management experience in the past 5 (five) years,

2) Legally obtained net worth of at least CAN$ 2,000,000,

3) Meet the government secured (risk-free) `full investment option` or `financed investment option` below:

A) FULL INVESTMENT OPTION

The required full investment amount is CAN$ 1,200,000. Under the full investment option, the applicants deposit the required amount for a period of 5 (five) years. At the end of this period, the full amount is returned to the investor without accrued interest.

B) FINANCED INVESTMENT OPTION

Under this option, the investment amount is financed by an approved financial intermediary. The investor pays CAN$ 350,000 to an approved financial intermediary which is for commissions, interest and other legal services.

CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENTS

Investors and their family members who have lived in Canada for 3 (three) out of 5 (five) years (1,095 days) preceding the application are eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
