The application fee for the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) has been on a continuous upward trend in recent years, showing no signs of stopping: it rose from CAD 4,150 in 2012 to CAD 10,160 in 2013, then to CAD 15,000 in 2015, and further increased to CAD 15,111 in 2017. With this "triple increase" in application fees, the warning of a potential increase in the Quebec investment amount has been sounded once again.
The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program has been highly popular for a long time due to its clear advantages: investment is only required after approval, it provides a direct path to Canadian permanent residency, there is no need to actively manage a business, no requirement to apply for a work permit first, and there are no age, education, or language requirements. Furthermore, Quebec is the largest province in Canada by area, rich in resources, offers excellent Canadian social benefits, and provides children with an environment for bilingual English and French education.
Therefore, for applicants who wish to enjoy a high quality of life and benefits in Canada without wanting to participate in active investment or take the IELTS exam, the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program is undoubtedly an effective and excellent path.
In 2017, the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program will continue to use a quota system, which industry estimates suggest will be on par with the 2016 quota. For reference, the 2016 global quota for the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program was 1,900, with 1,330 spots allocated for the China region.
The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program will open its application doors once again in April 2017. As spots are extremely limited, eligible applicants should plan ahead, as there is a significant amount of preparatory work required beforehand, including assessments, document organization, translation, and auditing. Making early arrangements will help applicants secure a spot in time and pave the way for their immigration journey.
