Investor program is different than other business/self-employed immigration. In general the program is a disaster and just funnelled investors to other parts of the country. Many left their families in Canada and the income earner returned home while not declaring their international income. Most other provinces cancelled their investor programs a long time ago. The process is long because only a certain amount are accepted a year.

As of April 2025, applicants to the Quebec Business Class immigration stream are experiencing significant delays. Processing times have increased to approximately 72 months (6 years), up from 58 months in late 2024 . This marks a substantial rise from earlier periods, with delays now exceeding six years.

Several factors are contributing to these unprecedented delays:

• High Volume of Applications: The Quebec Business Class stream has seen a surge in applications, leading to longer processing times.
• Limited Resources: The provincial government has imposed caps on the number of applications processed annually, affecting the speed at which applications are handled.
• Complexity of Applications: Business class applications often involve detailed business plans and financial assessments, which can extend processing times.

These extended processing times have significant implications for applicants:

• Uncertainty: Applicants face prolonged periods of uncertainty regarding their immigration status.
• Financial Strain: Delays can lead to financial challenges, especially for business owners awaiting approval to establish or expand operations in Quebec.
• Emotional Stress: The prolonged wait can cause stress and anxiety for applicants and their families.

While the situation is challenging, applicants can take steps to stay informed and proactive:

• Regularly Check Processing Times: Keep updated on the latest processing times through official channels to adjust expectations accordingly.
• Ensure Complete Applications: Submitting complete and accurate applications can help avoid additional delays.
• Seek Professional Advice: Consulting with immigration professionals can provide guidance and assistance in navigating the process.
