Quebec Immigrant Investor Program Reopens

It has been confirmed by the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion that the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program is open for applicants from May 29, 2017, to February 23, 2018. The quota remains 1,900, with a maximum of 1,330 applicants from China, Hong Kong and Macao.

The QCIIP facilitates immigration to Canada for qualified investors who wish to settle in Quebec by making a passive investment through Arton Investments or another authorized financial intermediary. This non-interest bearing passive investment must be maintained for five years.

Applicants must invest CA$800,000 in a government-guaranteed investment and demonstrate a net worth of CA$1.6 million. Successful applicants will receive permanent residency in Quebec and may apply for Canadian citizenship after three years provided they meet certain conditions.

French-speaking applicants may apply as well at any time and are not bound by the program’s quota.
