Moving to Canada is an exciting opportunity, but also a life-changing experience. In addition to being consistently ranked as one of the best places in the world to live, Canada is also a top immigration destination in the world, which is why it is known as the “land of immigrants.”
Many programs are offered for every candidate, be it a student, visitor, worker, family, business owner or investor who likes to apply for immigration to Canada. One of the most popular permanent residence programs for entrepreneurs is the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program.
The Québec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) is a business immigration program reserved for business persons interested in making an economic contribution to the Québec economy and who express the intention of establishing themselves in the province of Québec. With its secure investment structure and joint administration between public and private entities, it remains one of the most sought-after business immigration programs in the world. The purpose of the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program is to encourage entrepreneurs to invest in the growth of Canada specifically in the province of Quebec through significant financial investment. In exchange, these investors and their immediate family will obtain permanent residence. To qualify for QIIP, an investor must meet the following criteria:
1. Have, alone or with your accompanying spouse, including the common-law spouse, a net worth of at least $1,600,000 CAN legally obtained, excluding amounts received by donation less than six months before the date of presentation of the application.
– Assets can include real estate, bank assets, time deposits, shares in corporations, stocks, a variety of financial products, etc.
– The origin of the funds that give rise to the accumulation of said net assets must also be explained and documented.
2. Have relevant experience in running a business
3. Intend to settle in Quebec and sign an agreement to invest $800,000 CAN with a financial intermediary authorized to participate in the Investor Program.
Being one of the gateways to Canada, the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program provides certain advantages, such as:
– Successful application will result in a Canadian permanent resident visa.
– The $800,000 CAN investment agreement is guaranteed by the Quebec government and will be fully repaid after 5 years.
– The immediate family members in charge of the investor who are included in the application will have the same status as the candidate.
The RCI team assists applicants and designated agents with legal services for the preparation and submission of applications. Working closely with the candidates and their immigration advisors is an essential factor in maximizing the chances of success.
It is not surprising that many individuals and investors find the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program attractive and interesting.
