Tạm dừng chương trình đầu tư Quebec đến 1/7/2020-Quebec suspends immigrant investor program until July 1, 2020

The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program, which allows investors to obtain Canadian permanent residence with a $1.2 million investment, has been suspended until July 1, 2020. The suspension takes effect Friday, November 1, 2019.

According to Quebec’s Immigration Minister, Mr. Jolin-Barrette, the reason for the suspension is the fact that nearly 20,000 applications for permanent residence through the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program have yet to be processed. Another reason of the suspension is Quebec would like to have aperiod to review the program, which has been controversial. Critics say it allows wealthy individuals to effectively purchase Canadian permanent residence and citizenship while supporters say it helps fund essential programs in Quebec.

The investors, among other criteria, also need at least $2,000,000 in legally acquired net worth and a minimum of two years of management experience within the past five years.
