Following the recent announcement of Manitoba's 2018 immigration policy, which shifted from a "direct permanent residency" model to a "work permit to permanent residency" model, there are very few Canadian immigration programs left that offer direct permanent residency. The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) is currently one of the few remaining programs that allows for "direct permanent residency," making the competition for the 2018 quota even more intense.
In recent years, rumors of a price hike for the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program have been circulating in the industry, and the 2018 policy may be set for significant changes. Reports suggest that the Quebec Immigration Bureau issued a price increase proposal to relevant departments before Christmas 2017 to collect public opinion and request feedback on the proposed policy. If this proposal is passed, the 2018 Quebec Immigrant Investor Program may see the following major changes:
Net family assets increased from 1.6 million CAD to 2 million CAD;
Full investment amount increased from 800,000 CAD to 1-1.2 million CAD;
Financed investment amount increased from 220,000 CAD to 300,000 CAD.
The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program has a history of over 30 years. Compared to the immigration policies of other provinces, the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program is much more lenient, with low thresholds, no age, education, or language requirements, and no requirement for proof of asset source, making it highly popular among investors.
Advantages of the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program:
1. Simple application conditions, no age, education, or English language requirements
2. Direct permanent residency with no additional conditions
3. Government-guaranteed, safe and reliable investment with low risk
4. Flexible investment options
In recent years, the application fee for the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program has been rising, from 4,150 CAD in 2012 to 10,160 CAD in 2013, 15,000 CAD in 2015, and 15,111 CAD in 2017. Currently, the 2018 application fee has risen to 15,235 CAD.
Although the further increase in the 2018 Quebec Immigrant Investor Program application fee does not have a major impact on applicants, it reflects the trend of continuously rising requirements for the program. Does this also signal that the threshold for the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program is about to be raised?
Immigration experts state that although the immigration bureau has not yet released a clear policy, against the backdrop of rising immigration thresholds in major global immigration countries, the 2018 Quebec Immigrant Investor Program policy is unpredictable. It is recommended that those interested in the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program act early, submit applications as soon as possible to secure a quota, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with an early application.
