Canada welcomes successful business people seeking Canadian permanent immigration. Currently the federal government have stopped taking new investor applications for this year but this does not apply to Quebec Investor Program.
Under the Quebec Investor Program you will still have the right to something which is called "Freedom of Movement". All Canadian Permanent Residents have the right to move freely anywhere within Canada. However, by offering you this immigration program, the government of Quebec is trying very hard to entice you to stay in Quebec and enjoy excellent business climate and attractive investment environment.
To be eligible the applicant must;
- have legally accumulated net-worth exceeding Canadian $ 1.6 million.
- have minimum of three years of business management experience within the last five years.
- deposit Canadian $800,000 with the Government of Quebec for five years. The total money is refunded back after 5 years without any interest. Loan options are available for the deposit.
- fluency in English or French is not required under this program.
Family gets the permanent residency to Canada leading to Canadian Citizenship and Passport.
If your net-worth is less than $ 1.6 million, you may be eligible for one of the provincial business program.
