THE QUEBEC INVESTOR PROGRAM (QIIP)
The Quebec Investor program permits applicants to finance the bulk of their investment through designated financial intermediaries. Typically, the financing schemes require payment of $350,000 before the intermediary loans the balance of $850,000 to meet the required $1.2 million investment. The government approved financial intermediary then deposits the entire sum with Investissement Québec. The down payment is not refunded at the end of the five-year period.
