T he province of Quebec is unique in Canadian confederation as having majority French speakers and different civil law system from other provinces .It has its own Immigration law called ”An act respecting Immigration to Quebec” , its own provincial level immigration ministry called “Service d’ Immigration du Quebec SIQ” and its own point system which differ from the federal Canadian point system as well as its own Immigration offices (visa offices) around the world just like Canada immigration offices.
Quebec immigration program has many categories as federal system but the applicants must meet the Quebec selection criteria or” Quebec points “. Quebec immigration offices will issue the selection certificates called CSQ or CIQ , the recipients of those Quebec selection certificates can proceed to Canadian visa offices and if further statutory requirements are met, the Canadian visa is issued.
Although the program is sponsored and much of the decision is rested on the Quebec provincial government’s selection criteria which by-pass much of the Canada federal immigration requirements, the Canadian Permanent Resident visa is issued by the government of Canada and the successful applicants under this class can move anywhere in Canada once they are landed(arrived) in Quebec which is the guaranteed rights for all the Canadian residences under the Canadian charter of Rights.
Quebec immigration categories are as follows,
1) Investors, Entrepreneurs and self-employed persons(Business class)
2)Quebec skilled workers(permanent job offer)
3) Family class sponsorship ( go through CIC)
4)Live-in care givers
5)Temporary workers
6) Students
The province of Quebec’s investor program is much faster to compare with the Canada Federal government’s investor program. As a means of promoting economic development across the country, the Quebec Provincial government has developed the Immigrant Investor Program to facilitate the immigration process for business people and investors.
The personal net worth for that category is CAD $1.6 million and the amount to deposit at the bank is CAD $800,000 for 5 years period.The deposited amount is guranteed by the Quebec provincial government and will repay the investor full amount of CAD $800,000 after the five year period without interest.
The investors who qualify under this category benefit from express processing and their Permanent Resident Visas will be issued for the whole family after successful application and CAD $800,000 is deposited, without the restrictions found within other categories.
Through their Immigrant Investor Program, Quebec welcomes thousands of experienced business people and managers every year, leading to Canadian Immigrant Visas and eventually citizenship for themselves and their family members.
Other categories also have unique benefits for the applicants over the federal program. Even the students, temporary workers and tourists may have opportunities to apply for the permanent residence visas.
