Applying to immigrate to Québec as an investor

Here are the steps for applying for permanent selection under the Investor Program.

You may submit an application at any time.

There is no maximum number of applications to be received.

Prepare your application carefully to avoid lengthening the processing time.

To consult or print the documents in PDF format, you must use Adobe Reader software, available free of charge on the Adobe website.

You can fill in forms directly on-screen, then print and sign them.

MANDATORY FORMS:

• Application for permanent selection – Investors program (PDF 680 Kb) (in French only)
• Guide to writing the narrative document – Investors, entrepreneurs and self-employed workers (PDF 142 Kb) (in French only). Your spouse or common-law partner included in the application must also complete and enclose this document.

FORM TO BE ATTACHED ONLY IF APPLICABLE:

• Declaration of Consent - Immigration of a minor child accompanied by only one parent  (PDF 129 Kb)

This form is required if you wish to include your dependent child(ren) under 18 years of age in your application without the other parent accompanying you. This form must be completed and signed by the non-accompanying parent. You must also submit a photocopy of the non-accompanying parent's identity document. 

 

Stay in Québec

Once you or, as the case may be, your spouse or or common-law partner, have fulfilled your Québec residency period, you must notify the Ministère by mail.

Override

If you do not meet the conditions for selection and you have provided information or documents supporting your selection under override, these will be examined along with your request for selection. For more details about the review of a request for permanent selection under override, please consult the Pouvoir de dérogation section (PDF 501 Kb) of the Guide des procédures d’immigration (in French only).

We would like to emphasize that the use of this discretionary power is exceptional and is at the discretion of the Minister.
