This year, the immigration journey in 2108 is not smooth for many people. The new immigration order issued by Trump in the United States has dealt a new blow to many people waiting to immigrate.
Looking at America's neighbors, Canada is not that stable either.
Those who want to immigrate to Canada also need to be prepared.
Let’s take a look at the new immigration policy of Quebec, Canada.
The new immigration policy came into effect on August 2.
Investment immigration projects, skilled immigration projects, and entrepreneur immigration projects will all undergo changes.
The Quebec Immigration Service stated that the new deal will fully implement Quebec’s immigration laws, aiming to improve all current immigration projects in Quebec and enable all regions in the province to benefit from the Quebec government’s immigration initiatives. So the new deal has
What content? Funding requirements have been significantly increased. According to the new investment immigration policy requirements announced by Quebec, investors must have a household net worth of at least 2 million Canadian dollars (including bank deposits, real estate, stocks, bonds, businesses, etc.) and have plans to invest in the country.
For a project with a full investment of 1.2 million Canadian dollars in Canada, the investment needs to be for a period of five years and will be returned without interest after 5 years. The applicant must sign an investment agreement with a broker or trust institution designated by Quebec, and a one-time financing payment will be made for the non-returnable investment.
The amount has also reached 350,000 Canadian dollars, which will be returned without interest after maturity.
Quebec investment immigration refers to the behavior of investors who have certain assets and meet some restrictive conditions in Quebec to invest funds in investment projects or commercial projects approved by the Quebec government. Quebec investment immigration has no language requirements.
There are no requirements for running a business or a place of residence. These advantages have become one of the reasons why many people yearn for investment immigration.
New applications will officially start next month. Before the new policy is announced, the household net assets requirement for investment immigrants is at least 1.6 million Canadian dollars (including bank deposits, real estate, stocks, bonds, businesses, etc.). The one-time financing payment is not refundable.
The investment amount is only CAD 220,000, and the full investment is CAD 800,000.
New applications for the investment immigration project will officially begin on September 10, and 1,900 invitations are expected to be issued. Investors who have targeted projects in Quebec can use this relatively ample time to prepare funds ~ Added "expression of interest"
The system's new Quebec skilled immigration project will still use a points system. Anyone over 18 years old can submit personal information to the Quebec skilled immigration expression of interest database and be based on work experience, education, French or English proficiency, and financial self-sufficiency.
Ability and other factors will earn corresponding points.
Except for the changes in the points awarded for the length of residence in Quebec and approved work opportunities, the points awarded for other items are almost the same as the existing system.
Another new change in the Quebec skilled immigration project is that the previous "first come, first served" application process will be replaced by the new Expression of Interest (EOI, Express of Interest) system. This expression of interest system refers to any application for the Quebec skilled immigration project.
Interested parties must first submit an online expression of interest to Quebec Immigration, which will select candidates and issue invitations based on the socioeconomic needs of each region in the province.
Only those who have received an invitation can apply for a CSQ (Quebec Selection Certificate), and anyone who obtains a Quebec Selection Certificate can apply to the Federal Immigration Service for permanent residence in Canada.
Quebec skilled immigrants pay more attention to the applicant's qualifications. As the name suggests, it refers to applying for immigration based on the applicant's comprehensive strength in education, vocational skills, language ability, etc.
The difference between Quebec's skilled immigrants and other skilled immigrants is that they depend on their majors, and they can get extra points. On the other hand, their spouses and children can also get extra points.
It should be noted that after the implementation of the new policy, only the most qualified candidates will receive an invitation from the Quebec Immigration Bureau to submit an application for a Quebec Selection Certificate. If the applicant has submitted an expression of interest for more than 12 months and has not received a Quebec Selection Certificate
For certificate invitations, their files will become invalid and deleted from the candidate database.
There are two pathways for entrepreneur immigration. The Quebec New Deal has also made major changes to the entrepreneur immigration program. They will select entrepreneur immigrants according to two pathways, one is to open innovative enterprises in Quebec, and the other is to establish innovative enterprises in Quebec.
Starting small and medium-sized enterprises in Quebec.
If you are starting an innovative business in Quebec, each candidate must obtain support from an incubator, accelerator or the Center for Entrepreneurship of the University of Quebec (CEU).
The same enterprise can support up to 3 foreign applicants to apply for the entrepreneur project.
If you are setting up a small and medium-sized enterprise in Quebec, the applicant needs to start or purchase an existing enterprise in Quebec, have start-up capital and a deposit, and sign a deposit agreement with a fund company.
