In 1986, Canada launched the Federal Immigrant Investor Program (FIIP), and Quebec launched the similar Quebec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) for applicants interested in settling in Quebec province. While the FIIP no longer exist, QIIP has continued to attract thousands of families from around the globe who are now Canadian citizens.
The Province of Quebec offers a variety of advantages: great quality of life, quality universal education and health care systems, a vibrant and diversified economy (including IT, pharmaceutical, R&D, aerospace, etc), a mix of cultures where newcomers can feel at home. It also offers an efficient and accessible immigration program for investors that is not affected by the moratorium on Canada’s Federal Immigrant Investor Program.
In order to qualify you must:
Management Experience may have been acquired in a legal farming, commercial or
industrial business, or in a legal professional business where the staff, excluding
the investor, occupies at least the equivalent of two full-time jobs, or for an
international agency or a government or one of its departments or agencies.
The Investor must have at least two years of experience within the last five years
in duties related to the planning, management and control of financial resources and
of human or material resources. The experience does not include experience acquired
in the context of an apprenticeship, training or specialization process attested to
by a diploma.
Once selected by the Province of Quebec, you may apply to the federal immigration
authorities for a permanent resident visa, which will be issued if you pass a
medical exam and criminal background check.
