Quebec's business immigration includes three immigration programs: investment immigration, entrepreneur immigration, and self-employed immigration. Generally speaking, Quebec business immigration refers specifically to Quebec investment immigration, which has been officially implemented since 1986. After many years of policy adjustments and modifications, if you wish to settle in Canada through Quebec investment immigration, you must meet the following requirements!
1. Business Experience
According to Canadian immigration consultants, under the regulations of Quebec's investment immigration policy, investment immigration applicants must possess certain business experience, specifically, they must have at least 2 years of business experience within the last five years, regardless of whether the business was profitable or not, and regardless of whether you operated the business independently or in partnership with others, as long as you have 2 years or more of business experience. There are no excessive requirements regarding other business operation details.
2. Asset Proof
In addition to the required business experience, you also need to have a certain level of asset accumulation, meaning you must have a net worth of over 1.6 million Canadian dollars. Net worth can include bank deposits, stocks, bonds, real estate, personal assets in businesses, or inherited and gifted properties. After having a sufficient amount of assets, you also need to clearly explain the source of each asset and provide documentation to prove it.
3. Investment Requirements
After meeting the above two requirements, it is still not time to relax, as Quebec's investment immigration also has an investment requirement of 800,000 Canadian dollars. You need to invest this 800,000 Canadian dollars into a financial institution recognized by the local government, and the investment must be maintained for five years, during which time you cannot withdraw the investment under any circumstances.
Of course, after the five-year investment period is completed, you can receive a non-interest return of 800,000 Canadian dollars. If you feel that the non-interest return of 800,000 Canadian dollars after five years does not provide sufficient value for the investment, you can also choose a financing loan model, where you pay off the interest generated by the 800,000 Canadian dollars over the five-year period in one lump sum.
