Investment details

The investment of $800,000 CAN for a five year term is guaranteed by the Gouvernement du Québec. The investment agreement is one of the documents to be submitted with the Application for a Certificat de selection du Québec.

Brokers and trust companies offer the possibility of financing the investment.

Revenues generated by the applicant’s investment will be used to finance two Québec business assistance programs, Business Assistance—Immigrant Investor Program and Employment Integration Program for Immigrants and Visible Minorities.

At the end of the five year term, the broker or trust company will, within 30 days, reimburse the applicant $800,000 CAN without interest. However, the amount may vary if the applicant secured financing for the investment.  

Investissement Québec, a State-owned enterprise, offers you a custom-tailored information session free of charge to answers all your questions on Québec’s economy, real estate, business opportunities and the education system.
