Quebec Investor Program
What is the Quebec Investor Program?The Quebec Investor Program is sponsored by the Province of Quebec, to facilitate immigration to Quebec for businesspeople. Unlike the skilled worker program, which places a heavy emphasis on education qualifications and work experience, the Investor program determines your eligibility based on your net worth. Unlike the Federal Program however, the Quebec Investor program does not determine eligibility based on past business performance. In addition, the Quebec Investor program very quick to complete, taking between 12 to 16 months to complete, depending on your country of origin, compared to the Federal program which can take 2 to 3 years. How do I Qualify?To qualify for the Quebec Investor Immigration program, you must have a net worth of at least CAD $800,000. In addition you must be willing to make a deposit of $400,000 with the Government of Quebec for a period of 5 years. This money will be returned to you after the 5 year period with no interest gained. The other option available to you, is to pay for a loan up front, and have someone else's money held by the government for 5 years and returned to them. This loan will cost a one time fee of CAD $115,000. You can also fill out an investor free assessment here.
Why Choose the Investor Category?Investing in Canadian government-guaranteed securities has a decisive advantage: no income tax! You can also enjoy a tax break on your investments for at least 5 years. It the option that affords you the most amount of flexibility once you land in Canada, and is especially useful if you don't want to deal with the hassles of starting or buying a business and running it successfully under the scrutiny of the government. You will experience a smooth process as long as your source of funds has been accumulated by your own endeavours and you have successfully operated, controlled or directed a business yourself. Unlike the entrepreneur category, an investor does not need to risk his capital into a new business venture. Start up costs in Canada could easily exceed $300,000 and in some programs investments of CAD 500,000 become the practical minimum investment in the business after all expenses are taken into account, not including the application processing costs. Your visa will not carry any conditional clauses. Some Businessmen who could not fulfill the requirements of establishing a business, employing one Canadian other than a relative, to the satisfaction of the Immigration Authorities have had to pack up and go back to their country of origin along with their children and spouses a year and a half or two years after they landed in Canada! If you plan on immigrating under the entrepreneur category you will have to set up and run a successful business. On the the other hand, an Investor is issued a Permanent Residence Visa to him and his family for life! Just stop and calculate the benefits obtained from Health Care and Free Education that your loved ones can avail off and this alone should get you to immediately write to us to inquire about what the next step should be. Investor Category Applicants, on the day they land in Canada they are Permanent Residents and enjoy almost all the privileges Canadian Citizens enjoy except the right to vote. This means, both their spouses and dependent children get free medical care and free education up to the age of 18.
