As of May 29, 2017, the popular Quebec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) will reopen for up to 1,900 new applications. The QIIP is currently Canada’s only available passive investor immigration program, and throughout the years has proven popular. Due to its increasing popularity, the intake limit is expected to be filled up before the scheduled end date of the application cycle, on February 23, 2018.
Up to a maximum of 1,330 applications may be accepted for processing from nationals of the People’s Republic of China, including the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao.
Although French proficiency is not required, applicants who have at least an “advanced intermediate” level of French proficiency, as demonstrated by a standardized test, are not subject to the intake cap. In addition to that, their applications will be given priority processing.
To qualify as an investor, an individual must have a net worth of at least $ 1.6 million CAD, have managerial experience and be willing to make a government secure investment of CAD$800, 000 for a period of 5 years.
