The Quebec Investor Program (QIIP) is the only investor visa category available in the financial year 2020-21, thus a program which will offer the permanent residency as well.
The investment amount of 1,200,000$ Canadian is invested in Canada as a guarantee mentioned by the Government of Quebec. Partly the interest generated due to the investment of 1,200,000$ finances the intermediary brokerage firms. The rest of the interest generated by the investments is provided to local small Businesses as 0% interest loans, and invested for sponsoring refugees and other immigration programs that benefit the society.
Hence, the Immigrant Investor’s contributions sums up the economic development of Canada in advance and helps create job opportunities in Quebec and Canada indirectly.
