The highly anticipated 2017 Quebec Immigrant Investor Program is about to reopen. What are the latest policy changes for the 2017 Quebec Immigrant Investor Program? WorldWay Group now provides a summary of the latest preview of the new Quebec immigration policy as follows:
Potential Reduction in 2017 Quebec Immigration Quotas
The immigration quota for Quebec, Canada in 2017 has decreased compared to 2016, falling from 31,600 to 29,300. According to expert analysis, although the Quebec Immigration Bureau has not yet announced the specific quota for the 2017 Quebec Immigrant Investor Program, as the Canadian government increasingly prioritizes skilled immigration, the quota for the investor program, which grants permanent residency in one step, may be reduced.
Optimizing the Immigration Approval System and Improving Case Backlogs
In the previously announced 2017 Canadian immigration plan, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada stated that it would shorten approval times and continue to optimize the immigration system and improve the backlog of application cases.
Quebec Immigration Bureau's Hong Kong Interview Office Officially Closed
According to news from the Quebec Immigration Bureau, the Quebec Immigration Bureau's office in Hong Kong officially closed on April 1, 2017. In the future, all document processing and interviews will be transferred to the Quebec Immigration Bureau's office in Montreal. Currently, the most likely scenario is that the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program may reopen on April 1, 2017, with interview reviews returning to Montreal.
New Immigration and Citizenship Policy Expected to be Relaxed
Once the new Canadian immigration and citizenship policy, Bill C-6, is passed, the requirements for immigration and citizenship will be significantly lowered. It reduces the time requirements for citizenship and relaxes language requirements, which is great news for new immigrants, temporary foreign workers, and international students.
As the most popular project in the Canadian investment immigration market, the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program allows applicants to obtain permanent residency for their entire family in one step simply by completing the investment, without the need to create jobs. Coupled with its many advantages, such as no language requirements for applicants, it has become a popular choice for Chinese citizens competing to immigrate to Canada.
WorldWay immigration experts state: What exactly will the new Quebec immigration policy be? The answer will be revealed by the end of March or early April. In general, the reopening of the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program will once again trigger a new wave of competition for Canadian immigration quotas. Applicants should contact their local WorldWay branch as soon as possible to strive to submit their applications at the earliest opportunity.
