Canada: Quebec Immigrant Investor Program to Reopen in January with Some Stricter Eligibility Requirements

Sigh, in the past, backdoor entry to Vancouver and other cities in English Canada:

• The Ministry of Immigration, Francisation and Integration will officially reopen Quebec’s Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) on January 1, 2024, with changes to criteria and requirements.

• Key changes include stricter French language requirements, residence requirements and financial contributions in Quebec, and a new Work Permit step.

• On the other hand, the program will ease some measures such as eliminating quotas and relaxing the applicant selection process.

• The QIIP program will offer foreign investors an additional pathway to permanent residence in Quebec.
