Quebec Self-Employed Visa Canada

Under the Canada-Quebec Accord on Immigration, Quebec establishes its own unique immigration requirements and selects immigrants who will adapt well to living in Quebec. The Quebec Self-Employed visa is similar to the Federal Self-Employed visa but allows for professionals seeking self-employment in Quebec. The program is geared towards applicants who will generate their own employment by pursuing an occupation in which they already have experience. The program is specifically designed to encourage newcomers to invest in Quebec's local economy.

Applicants must be experienced business persons, and have the required amount of legally acquired funds and have proficiency in Canada's official languages. Once granted, applicants will obtain permanent residence and be able to work and live in Canada with their families.
