The QPNP operates independently with its own selection criteria and immigration streams tailored to Quebec’s specific economic and cultural needs.
While knowledge of French is highly advantageous and often required, certain streams, like the Investor Program, may have more flexible language requirements.
The Arrima portal is an online system where potential candidates submit their Expression of Interest (EOI) to be considered for the Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ).
Obtaining a CSQ is a crucial step; it certifies that Quebec has accepted you for immigration. You must then apply to the federal government for permanent residency.
Quebec often prioritizes industries that contribute significantly to the province’s economic development, such as technology, manufacturing, and sustainable resources.
Applicants must have a legally acquired net worth of CAD 900,000 and invest a minimum of CAD 200,000 in a business project. Financial documents and business plans are thoroughly reviewed.
Investments are made into a government-approved investment fund for five years, ensuring that the funds are used for economic development projects.
Businesses must align with the applicant’s professional experience and can range from professional services (e.g., consultants, artists) to small retail operations.
Quebec offers various support services, including business incubators, mentorship programs, and financial assistance to help new entrepreneurs succeed.
Processing times can vary; generally, it takes 12-24 months for the Entrepreneur and Self-Employed Worker Programs and 24-36 months for the Investor Program.
The interview assesses the applicant’s knowledge of their business plan, financial capability, management experience, and understanding of Quebec’s market.
Applicants must commit to establishing and running their business in Quebec, adhere to their business plan, and comply with provincial laws and regulations.
Significant changes to the business plan must be communicated to Quebec immigration authorities and may require approval to ensure continued compliance with program requirements.
Quebec authorities will evaluate the circumstances, and while business failure does not automatically affect permanent residency status, compliance with program terms is crucial.
