Quebec landing issues

I see this question pop up ever now and then. In some cases it sounds like the OP never intended on setting down in Quebec long term. So why to people apply in the first place to go to Quebec? Is it easier and people are trying to use a loop hole?

Yes. Have a look at this recent article http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/millionaire-immigrants-invest-in-quebec-and-then-move-on-1.2458162

ah, interesting. Looks like both the immigrant and Quebec benefit. Since Quebec still has the investor program while the federal one is suspended, I see why there is an interest in Quebec.

Exactly. Quebec (and Ottawa) benefits from the initial investment while the other provinces where these people actually settle pay the cost. It is a loophole that definitely needs to be closed.
