The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) targets high-net-worth individuals who wish to settle in Quebec, Canada, by making a passive government-guaranteed investment. Applicants are required to demonstrate significant net worth and business or management experience. The program historically offered a straightforward path to Canadian permanent residency for investors and their immediate families.Main benefits included a passive investment requirement with a guaranteed refund after five years, no language or age limits, and eligibility for Canadian permanent residence. Its distinguishing feature has been the lack of direct job or business creation obligations, focusing instead on substantial, risk-free capital contribution to Quebec’s economic development.Due to policy updates, intake limits, and ongoing reforms, program requirements and timelines have fluctuated. The QIIP was the only passive investor scheme among Canada’s provincial immigration options.
