The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program has been administered by the Government of Quebec and has been in operation since 1986. The program has re-opened with modified requirements. It has been in effect since December 1, 2010. The funds that the Quebec Investor Program generates bring to Quebec’s small, medium businesses a financial aid needed for their projects that covers all economic sectors all over the Quebec regions, and that generates important fiscal receipts to the government without budgeted credit as well as contributes a source of financing significant for the Quebec Government.

  • To be eligible for this program, you must:

    1. have, alone or with his accompanying spouse, including de facto spouse, net assets of at least C$1,600,000 obtained legally, excluding the amounts received by donation less than six months before the date on which the application was filed.


    2. have experience in management 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.

        Management experience is defined as the exercise, for at least two years in the five years preceding the application for a selection certificate, of duties related to the planning, management and control of financial resources and of human or material resources under your authority; the experience does not include experience acquired in the context of an apprenticeship, training or specialization process attested to by a diploma.


    3. intend to settle in Quebec and sign an agreement to invest C$800,000 with a financial intermediary (broker or trust company) authorized to participate in the Investors program.




  • The assessment of your application will also take into account other factors such as your age, the nature and duration of your professional training and your language skills.
