Canada Québec Investor Program explained

Canada belongs on the website, but it should be presented as high-net-worth investor immigration and settlement — not as a second-passport purchase.

Core financial test

The current Québec Investor Program requires at least CAD 2 million net worth, a CAD 1 million five-year investment and a CAD 200,000 contribution.

Non-financial eligibility matters

Applicants also need qualifying management experience and spoken French at Québec level 7.

There is a real presence requirement

The programme includes a Québec stay requirement after the work-permit stage. This makes it a poor fit for a client who wants a completely passive Plan B with no intention to spend meaningful time in Canada.

Citizenship is later

Canadian citizenship is a separate federal process. The current adult physical-presence rule is generally 1,095 days in Canada during the five years before applying, in addition to other requirements.
