The Quebec immigration program to Canada is back again this year commencing August 31st 2015. The candidates are given specific guidelines that are to be followed which can be kept in mind to wisely come to decisions. The QIIP allows qualified investors to migrate to Canada with an idea to settle in the same. Investors who want to work in Canada or require work permit can also make use of the immigration programme.
With or without the help of an immigration lawyer, one will have to go through various procedures and steps that will finalize their eligibility to acquire Canada visa. One such eligibility is to have net assets of CAD$1,600,000 either as an individual or along with a spouse. Moreover a non interest passive investment of CAD 800,000 should be maintained for a minimum of 5 years to be eligible.
This immigration programme is very beneficial to investors as it helps them if they have any intentions of residing permanently in Canada. Eligibility from the last five years would include having experience in owning or managing a professional firm for a minimum of 2 years. The candidate must have sure intentions of staying in Quebec and also agree to invest CAD 800,000 through an intermediate authorized financier. The Canadian embassy will assess your application based on your age, work background and languages you know and hence each application to the embassy is custom. Apart from the legal fees that you are to pay, you will also be required to pay a processing fee of CAD$15,000 towards the Quebec government.
This program will accept only 1750 candidates and will not accept more than 1200 candidates from the same country. Hence, you will have to be at your fastest to make sure you are in the right pace for your Canadian immigration. There will be no priorities as such while applying. However you can have your application prioritized during processing if you are an intermediately skilled speaker of French.
