All applications are first submitted to Quebec immigration authorities. Upon approval at the provincial level, applications must be submitted to Canadian immigration authorities for federal processing.

STEP ONE: Tour Application is received by the Auebec immigration Visa Office

All applications must include:

Accurately completed and signed application forms
Identity and civil status documentation
Evidence of your net worth
Proof of educational qualifications
Documentation demonstrating business experience and qualifications
Police clearance certificates

Incomplete applications will be returned to the applicant. Once an application is complete, it will be placed in the processing queue, and an Acknowledgement of Receipt will be sent to the applicant.

STEP TWO: Your application is assessed by a Quebec immigration Visa Officer

A Quebec Immigration Visa Officer will thoroughly evaluate your application to confirm that you meet the net worth criteria and that your funds were acquired legally. Additionally, your business experience and other qualifications will be scrutinized during this assessment.

STEP THREE: A personal interview is required or waived

If your application qualifies for immigration to Quebec under the Investor category, you’ll be invited for an interview with an Immigration Officer. You must provide updated forms and any additional supporting documents within ten business days of receiving your interview appointment. Applicants should bring the originals of all previously submitted documents as copies may not be sufficient. In some cases, the interview requirement may be waived.

STEP FOUR: You are asked to make a wire transfer

After a successful interview or if you receive an interview waiver, you’ll receive instructions to wire the necessary funds to Quebec immigration authorities. Once the transfer is confirmed, you will be issued your Quebec Selection Certificate (Certificat de Sélection du Québec, often referred to as CSQ).

STEP FIVE: Your application is submitted to the Canadian Immigration Visa Office

Once your CSQ is issued, you must submit your application to federal authorities within one year. This application should include the CSQ, identity and civil status documents, police clearance certificates, and the required federal processing fees. Any incomplete applications will be returned to you.

STEP SIX: Medical Instructions are Issued

Once your application is assessed by the Canadian Immigration Visa Office, you will receive instructions for a medical examination. You and any accompanying family members must undergo this examination with a doctor approved by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

STEP SEVEN: Your passport is required and the right of permanent Residence fee is due

After the Canadian Immigration Visa Office receives your medical results, they will request payment for the Right of Permanent Resident Fee (RPRF) and your passport to issue your Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa.

ATEP EIGHT: Your Canadian Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa is issued

Your Canada Immigration Visa will include an expiry date, indicating the deadline by which you and your accompanying family members must enter Canada, also known as “landing.”
