Do you intend to reside in Quebec?

Under the Canada-Quebec Accord on Immigration, Quebec establishes its own immigration requirements and selects foreign nationals who will adapt well to living in Quebec. If you intend to come to Canada as a Quebec-selected skilled worker, you must first contact the Ministère de l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles (MICC) at: www.micc.gouv.qc.ca/fr/index.asp (in French only)

You may also consult our website for more information at: www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/quebec/index.asp

If you want to settle in Quebec, contact the responsible Quebec Immigration Office (see Appendix B – Quebec Immigration Offices). The responsible Quebec Immigration office will send you an application, which includes a Demande de Certificat de sélection form, to be completed and returned to the appropriate address.

If your application is approved, you will be issued a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ). You must then complete our forms and send them along with the original of the CSQ to the CIO.

Class type

Investors

Investors must have business experience. They must have either:

• managed a qualifying business and controlled a percentage of equity of a qualifying business for at least two years in the period beginning five years before the date of application, or
• managed at least five full-time job equivalents per year in a business for at least two years in the period beginning five years before the date of application.

The investor class applicant must have a personal net worth of at least CDN $1,600,000. They are required to make an investment of CDN $800,000, paid to the Receiver General of Canada. The investment is subsequently allocated to participating provinces and territories in Canada.

These governments use the funds for job creation and economic development. The full amount of the investment (without interest) is repaid to the investor after five years.

The exact date of repayment depends on when the CDN $800,000 is received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. At the latest, the amount would be returned five years and 3 months after the date of payment.

The return of the investment is fully guaranteed by participating provinces and territories.

Features

• Investors are not required to start a business in Canada;
• Investments are fully guaranteed by provinces and territories that participate in the program;
• The provinces and territories control the investment during the five year lock-in period; and
• No immigration conditions are imposed upon admission to Canada.

Under the Canada-Quebec Accord, the province of Quebec operates its own immigrant investor program. All investors in the Quebec program must intend to live in Quebec and must be selected by Quebec. In common with the federal program, investors in the Quebec program must invest CDN $800,000 and have a net worth of CDN $1,600,000.

Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs must have business experience. They must have managed a qualifying business and controlled a percentage of equity of a qualifying business for at least two years in the period beginning five years before the date of application.

The entrepreneur class applicant must have a net worth of at least $300,000. Additionally, they must have the intention and the ability to:

• Control a percentage of equity of a qualifying Canadian business equal to or greater than 33^1/3%;
• Provide active and ongoing management of the qualifying Canadian business; and
• Create at least one incremental full-time job equivalent for one or more Canadian citizens or permanent residents other than the entrepreneur applicant and their family members.

Note: Entrepreneurs are required to sign a declaration stating they intend and will be able to meet the conditions of permanent residence.

Features

• A minimum net worth requirement of $300,000;
• A requirement that within three years of becoming a permanent resident, the entrepreneur must have controlled and have actively managed a qualifying Canadian business for a period of at least one year, and that the business must have created employment opportunities for others; and
• All family members are admitted under the same conditions as the principal applicant; the conditions are removed once the entrepreneur satisfies the conditions.

Under the Canada-Quebec Accord, the province of Quebec operates its own immigrant entrepreneur program, and Quebec-selected entrepreneurs are subject to Quebec’s own conditions rather than federal conditions. All entrepreneurs in the Quebec program must intend to live in Quebec and must be selected by Quebec. In common with the federal programs, entrepreneurs in the Quebec program must have a net worth of $300,000.

Self-employed persons

Self-employed immigrants must have relevant experience within the five-year period immediately preceding the date of application.

Relevant experience in respect of a self-employed person, means

• For at least two years in the period beginning five years before the date of application:
  • Self-employment in cultural activities or athletics; or
  • Participation, at the world-class level, in cultural activities or athletics; or
  • Farm management experience.

Features

  • purchase and manage a farm in Canada.

Staying informed

Selection criteria, requirements and other information for applicants can sometimes change. Please note that:

• Applications will be processed according to the rules and regulations in effect at the time of the application. These may change at any time.
• Our website contains the latest news, selection criteria updates and applications links. Check periodically for updated information.

Selection Criteria

You must first meet the definition of the one class you are applying under (entrepreneur or self-employed person) to be eligible for assessment against the selection criteria.

If you successfully meet the definition of the class you are applying under, you are then assessed against five selection factors:

• age,
• education,
• official languages,
• experience, and
• adaptability.

For each selection factor, a specific number of selection points are allotted.

The following tables will help you estimate how many points you would earn for each factor. If you have a score lower than a total of 35 points, your application may be refused.

Note: The pass mark for all classes of business immigrants is 35.

Important information. It is important that you make a careful assessment before you apply because you must pay certain fees, one of which is non-refundable (the processing fee) even if your application is refused.

What are the selection factors?

Your application to come to Canada as a business immigrant will be assessed against a point system consisting of five selection factors. The five selection factors are:

If your score is the same or higher than the pass mark, then you may qualify to immigrate to Canada as a business class applicant. Review the information about immigrating to Canada as a business class applicant and decide if you want to apply.

Below is a detailed description of all factors that are to be assessed.

Factor 1: Business experience (maximum of 35 points)

Business experience must have been obtained within the period beginning five years before the date of application.

Factor 2: Age (maximum of 10 points)

Points are given for your age at the time your application is received.

Factor 3: Education (maximum of 25 points)

Points are awarded for earned educational credentials as well as the number of years of full‑time studies or full‑time equivalent studies. To be awarded points, you must meet both stated criteria.

Educational credential:

Any diploma, degree, trade or apprenticeship credential issued for the completion of a program of study or training at a recognized educational or training institution.

Full‑time studies:

At least 15 hours of instruction per week during the academic year. This includes any period of workplace training that forms part of the course.

Full‑time equivalent studies:

If you completed a program of study on a part‑time or accelerated basis, count the length of time it would have taken to complete the program on a full‑time basis.

Use the chart below to determine your points. If you have not completed the number of years of study that correspond to your highest educational credential, award yourself points based on the number of years of study.

Example 1:

If you have a Master’s degree but have completed only 16 years of full‑time study, award yourself 22 points.

Example 2:

If you have a four‑year Bachelor's degree and have completed 14 or more years of study, award yourself 20 points.

Factor 4: Ability in English and/or French

The ability to communicate and work in one or both of Canada’s official languages is very important to you as a business immigrant. Proficiency in English, French or both will help you in the Canadian labour market.

You will be awarded up to 24 points for your basic, moderate or high proficiency in English and French. You will be given points based on your ability to:

• listen,
• speak,
• read, and
• write.

Proof of Language Proficiency

If you wish to be awarded points for your proficiency in English and/or French, you must submit language test results from a designated testing agency to the CIO with your application.

To be eligible for points for language ability, you must include the results of one of the following language tests from a testing agency designated by CIC:

English

• IELTS: International English Language Testing System (General Training test only)
• CELPIP: Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (General test only)

French

• TEF: Test d’évaluation de français

Important information. If you do not submit the results of your official language proficiency test with your application to the CIO, you will not be awarded points for your ability in English and/or French.

Official Language Testing

Take a language proficiency test from a designated testing agency

You must prove the level of language proficiency you claim on your application in order to be awarded points for your language ability.

To do this, you must take a language proficiency test from an agency designated by CIC before starting the immigration process and submitting your application to the CIO.

Your test results must not be more than two years old at the time that you submit your application.

1. Make arrangements to take a language proficiency test with a designated testing agency and pay the test costs. A list of designated testing agencies can be found at:
   www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp

2. Submit the assessment results with your application.

   Note. Do not request that your (IELTS-General Training, CELPIP-General or TEF) language test result be sent directly to the CIO. Submit your original language proficiency test results with your complete application to the CIO.

3. Consult the “using your test results” section to determine how many points you will be awarded for your language proficiency.

Note: Test results from a designated testing agency will be used as conclusive evidence of your language proficiency. Other evidence in writing will not be accepted as evidence of language proficiency. If you wish to be awarded points for your proficiency in both official languages, include the results of your official English language proficiency test (IELTS – General Training or CELPIP – General) and your official French language proficiency test (TEF) with your application.

Using your test results

Use your language test results from a designated testing agency to determine how many points you will be awarded for language proficiency.

International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
Use the following table to determine how many points you will be awarded for your test scores with the International English Language Testing System (IELTS):

Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP)
Use the following table to determine how many points you will be awarded for your test scores with the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP):

Test d’évaluation de français (TEF)
Use the following table to determine how many points you will be awarded for your test scores with the Test d’évaluation de français (TEF):

Add your points: Total of speaking + listening + reading + writing = score (both languages)

Factor 5: Adaptability (maximum of 6 points)

Investors and Entrepreneurs

A maximum of 6 points for adaptability can be earned by demonstrating one of the following elements:

If you wish to be assessed for adaptability points, it is necessary that your province/territory of destination provide you with documentation indicating that it is satisfied that you have met one or both of the above elements.

For the purpose of awarding points:

• a trip to Canada becomes a business exploration trip to Canada only when a province/territory has deemed it to be so, and
• each province/territory establishes individually, what constitutes participation in a joint federal-provincial business immigration initiative.

If you wish to earn points for adaptability, you should first contact the provincial or territorial government contact for the province/territory to which you are destined. Consult the list in Appendix C Provincial and Territorial Government Contacts. The province/territory can then provide you with appropriate documentation indicating that, in their view, you have met the regulatory requirements.

Note. You must submit this documentation to the CIO.

Self-employed persons

A maximum of 6 points for adaptability can be earned by any combination of the following elements:

Your score for all factors combined

Use the table below to calculate your total score. The pass mark is 35. The maximum possible score for each class is 100. The pass mark is variable and is determined, on an ongoing basis, by the Minister of CIC

The officer reviewing your application will first determine whether or not you meet the definition of the class you are applying under (investor, entrepreneur or self-employed person).

• If you meet the definition
  • the officer will then assess your score against the selection criteria
• If there is a difference between the points you give yourself and the points the officer awards you
  • the officer’s assessment will prevail

Funds required to settle in Canada

The Government of Canada does not provide financial support to business immigrants.

All business class applicants must establish that they have enough money to support themselves and their family members for at least one year after they arrive in Canada. This is normally satisfied by the net worth requirement.

Note: You should research the cost of living in the region of Canada where you intend to live and have access to enough ready capital for your initial establishment.

You should be aware that Canadian legislation requires persons entering Canada to declare cash funds of $10,000 CDN or more. You will have to disclose these funds to a Canadian official upon arrival. Cash funds means:

• money (coins or bank notes),
• securities in bearer form (stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc.), and
• negotiable instruments in bearer form (bank drafts, travellers’ cheques, money orders, etc.).

Step 1. Gather Documents

What documents are required?

Collect the documents you need to support your application. These are listed in the Document Checklist (IMM 5722).

Important information. If you do not provide all the requested information or documents, the processing of your application could be delayed.

Medical requirements

You and your family members, whether accompanying you or not, must undergo and pass a medical examination in order to come to Canada. To pass the medical examination you or your family members must not have a condition that:

• is a danger to public health or safety
• would cause excessive demand on health or social services in Canada.

Examples of “excessive demand” include ongoing hospitalization or institutional care for a physical or mental illness.

Instructions
Information on medical instructions will be provided to you. When you receive your assessment notice you will also receive medical forms for yourself (and any accompanying dependants if applicable), instructions and how to access a list of doctors in your area who are authorized to conduct immigration medical examinations (see below). You are not required to have a medical examination before you submit your application forms.

Exam validity
The medical examination results are valid for 12 months from the date of the first medical examination. If you are not admitted as a permanent resident during this time, you must undergo another complete medical examination.

Authorized doctors
Your own doctor cannot do the medical examination. You must see a physician on Canada’s list of Panel Physicians. Note that the physician is only responsible for conducting a medical examination; he or she cannot give you any advice on the immigration process.

Police certificates

If you and your family members who are 18 years of age and older and are not permanent residents or Canadian citizens have to provide:

• a valid police certificate, or
• police clearance, or
• record of no information.

These documents are to be provided for each country other than Canada, in which you have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18.

Note: If you or your family members were under 18 years of age (16 years of age in certain jurisdictions) for the entire time you lived in a particular country, you do not need to provide a police certificate for that country.

The certificate must have been issued no more than three months prior to submitting your application. If the original certificate is not in English or French, then you will need to submit both the certificate and the original copy of the translation prepared by an accredited translator.

It is your responsibility to contact the police or relevant authorities. When doing so, you may have to:

• pay a fee for the service, and
• provide information or documentation such as:
  • photographs,
  • fingerprints,
  • your addresses and periods of residence in the country or territory.

We will also do our own background checks to determine if there are grounds under which you and your dependants may be inadmissible to Canada.

Please consult our website for specific and up-to-date information on how to obtain police certificates from any country.

Translated documents

Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:

• the English or French translation; and
• an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
• a certified copy of the document.

Note: An affidavit is a document on which the translator has sworn, in the presence of a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the translator is living, that the contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document. Translators who are certified members in good standing of one of the provincial or territorial organizations of translators and interpreters of Canada do not need to supply an affidavit.

Important information. Translations by family members are not acceptable.

Certified true copies

To have a photocopy of a document certified, an authorized person must compare the original document to the photocopy and must print the following on the photocopy:

• “I certify that this is a true copy of the original document”,
• the name of the original document,
• the date of the certification,
• his or her name,
• his or her official position or title, and
• his or her signature.

Who can certify copies?

Persons authorized to certify copies include the following:

In Canada:

• a commissioner of oaths
• a notary public
• a justice of the peace

Outside Canada:

• a judge
• a magistrate
• a notary public
• an officer of a court of justice
• a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the person is living

Family members may not certify copies of your documents.

Use of a Representative (IMM 5476)

Who may use this form?

Complete this form only if you:

• used the services of a representative to help you prepare or submit your application; or
• are appointing a representative; or
• are cancelling a representative’s appointment.

If you have dependent children aged 18 years or older, they are required to complete their own copy of this form if a representative is also conducting business on their behalf.

What is a representative?

A representative is someone who has provided advice, consultation, or guidance to you at any stage of the immigration application process, or in an immigration proceeding. If someone represented or advised you to help you submit your application, then that person is your representative. A representative is also someone who has your permission to conduct business on your behalf with Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

When you appoint a representative:

• you also authorize CIC and CBSA to share information from your case file with this person;
• your application will not be given special attention nor can you expect faster processing or a more favourable outcome;
• the representative is authorized to represent you only on immigration matters related to the application you submit with this form;
• you can appoint only one representative for each application you submit;
• you are not obliged to hire a representative. We treat everyone equally, whether they use the service of a representative or not.

Important information. You must notify us if your representative’s contact information changes or if you cancel the appointment of a representative.

Types of representatives

Family, friends, and non-profit groups often help applicants who feel the need for support and advice on immigration matters. You can appoint a representative who does not charge fees or receive any other compensation for providing immigration advice or services to represent you before CIC or the CBSA.

There are two types of representatives.

Uncompensated representatives include:

• friends and family members who do not, and will not, charge a fee or receive any other consideration for their advice and services;
• organizations that do not, and will not, charge a fee or receive any other consideration for providing immigration advice or assistance (such as a non-governmental or religious organization);
• consultants, lawyers and Quebec notaries, and students-at-law under their supervision, who do not, and will not, charge a fee or receive any other consideration to represent you.

Compensated representatives:

Compensated representatives charge a fee or receive some other form of consideration in exchange for the advice and representation that they provide. If you want us to conduct business with a compensated representative then they must be authorized by CIC.

It is important to know that anyone who represents or advises you for payment — or offers to do so — in connection with immigration proceedings or applications is breaking the law unless they are an authorized representative or they have a specific agreement or arrangement with the Government of Canada that allows them to represent or advise you. This applies to advice or consultation which happens before or after an immigration application is made or a proceeding begins.

Authorized representatives are:

• immigration consultants who are members in good standing of the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC);
• lawyers and paralegals who are members in good standing of a Canadian provincial or territorial law society and students-at-law under their supervision;
• notaries who are members in good standing of the Chambre des notaires du Québec and students-at-law under their supervision.

If you appoint a compensated representative who is not a member of one of these designated bodies, your application will be returned. For more information on using a representative, visit our website.

Step 3. Pay the Fees

Calculating your fees

Use the table below to calculate the total amount of fees to be paid. There are two (2) types of fees:

1. The processing fee which must be included with your application

and

2. The Right of Permanent Residence Fee, which will be requested by the Visa Office at a later stage if your application is approved.

Note: Dependent children are exempt from paying the Right of Permanent Residence fee.

Incorrect fee payment

Payment issue - No fee included

CIC will return your application.

Note: Processing of your application will only start after you return your application with requested fees.

Payment issue - Insufficient fees included

CIC will return your application.

Note: Processing of your application will only start after you return your application with requested fees.

Payment issue - Overpayment

CIC will:

• start processing your application, and
• send you a refund as soon as possible.

Note: You do not have to request a refund, it will be done automatically.

Method of payment options

Complete the Fee Payment Form – Application for Permanent Residence (IMM 5620) and include it with your application to the CIO. On–line payments are not accepted by the CIO.

In Canadian funds only, you may pay

• by certified cheque, bank draft or money order made payable to the “Receiver General for Canada.” or
• with a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express)

Important information. Each application from a principal applicant must include a fee payment form. This form must include the fees for the principal applicant and any accompanying family members.

The same fee payment form may not be used for more than one principal applicant.

Do not enclose cash.

If you are a resident of one of the countries listed on our website, AND are unable to pay in Canadian Funds, visit the responsible visa office website for fee payment instructions and to obtain the fee payment form. Include with your application to the CIO a copy of your receipt from the visa office as proof of payment.

• medical examinations
• police certificates
• language assessments
