On March 28, 2018 the Quebec Government announced new
regulations related to the Quebec’s immigration programs, including the
Quebec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP). Some of the changes to the
QIIP included the following:
- Candidates must have net assets of at least CAD $2,000,000 (previously this amount was $1,600,000);
- The required investment amount has increased to CAD $1,200,000 (previously this amount was $800,000).
- Quebec’s
Immigration Ministry, the Ministère de l’Immigration, et de la
Diversité et de l’Inclusion (MIDI), has also stated their intention to
create its own version of Express Entry to that of the Federal Express Entry Program.
Some
of the proposed changes are set to begin in August 2018. Until
such time, Quebec Immigration will not be accepting any new
applications. To apply for permanent residency or to sponsor a family
