Quebec Business Investor Immigration
The Quebec Investor program allows qualified immigrant investors to obtain Permanent Residence to Canada by investing CAD $1.2 million risk-free through an approved financial intermediary or by financing the investment.A new intake period for the program began September 10, 2018, and is scheduled to run until August 31, 2019. The quota for this intake period is 1,900 applications. A maximum of 1,235 applications will be accepted from China (including Hong Kong and Macau).
Candidates for the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program are awarded points based on six factors under the Quebec Economic Class selection grid for the program. A minimum passing score of 40 points is required and the mandatory cut-off scores of 10 points and 25 points for management experience and financial investment, respectively, must be satisfied.
Quebec Immigrant Investor Program candidates are evaluated based on factors that include education level/areas of training, experience in management, age, language proficiency in French or English, stay and family in Quebec, and the Investment Agreement. The maximum points available are 94 points for applicants with or without a spouse or common-law partner.
Candidates who satisfy the required minimums for management experience and financial investment will only need five additional points to meet the passing score of 40.
Those points could be met if candidates satisfy only one of the following example requirements:
- A post-secondary school technical diploma attesting to one OR two years of full-time studies (value: 6 points)
- An undergraduate university degree attesting to two years of full-time studies (value: 6 points)
Quebec investor program candidates may be invited to a selection interview following a review of their application.
Note: Applicants who have an "advanced intermediate" level of French proficiency, demonstrated by a standardized test, will not be subject to this cap. Moreover, these applicants will be given priority processing.
