Thank you sanddy. You seem to have lots of valuable info. I keep my funds in US$, QAR and AED, they are more or less pegged to the USD and can easily be converted to USD so I can safely consider them as USD. Following your advise, I looked into the historical USD/CAD exchange rates and found...

In Quebec Entrepreneur program, one has to invest CA$100,000. In the worst case scenario, one loses that much. Would that be the basis for my negotiation? Is that too aggressive? What is the reasonable figure in your opinion?

Sad

Let say that I transfer the fund, make the "investment" and get a CSQ. Will the 5 years start from CSQ issue date? Or visa issue date? Or they day investment made?

Do you work in oil business? I do. It's a very hard time for oil workers. Good point sanddy. Will try and let you guys know how it go.

That's true. Canadian economy depends on oil and Iranian oil has huge impacts on oil supply. Thank you sanddy.

Again, thank you XpressEnterprise. I checked the list of financial intermediaries and mine is one of them. In order to qualify for this program, we all have to prove to possess 1,6 mil so that where I am coming from. Of course, everyone wants to minimize his/her exposure and 220k is less than...

I am looking for advise from the forum member. My agent strongly suggest that I should take the financial option, by paying C$220,000 and get nothing back, instead of investing C$800,000 and get the full amount back after 5 years. If I put C$800,000 in a bank and earn 2% pa, I'd get 40,000...

Wishing you good luck sanddy. I guess when they are asking for additional paperwork, they are considering waiving the interview. I had a call from my agent today. They are asking me to sign some paperwork before sending me the instruction for fund transfer. Verbally they are offering financing...

Love the red part. :D :D But it's not entirely impractical. One can land in the US and drive across the border with CoPR.

Hi sanddy, I didn't have an interview. I filed my application for CSQ in Mar 2015 and was expecting an interview around this time. In Feb 2016, the MIDI requested the resubmission of bank statements and translation of my degree. And now the MIDI sent me this notice of intent to issue CSQ. The...

Thank you XpressEnterprise, I am trying to match your and my timelines. Did you make investment and get a CSQ in 2011? Regards, Songsort

My agent has just forwarded to me a letter "Avis d'intention de delivrance de certificate de selection du Quebec". In this letter, I am instructed to transfer the fund within 110 days. I'm getting there, slowly. Patience is key.

Dear XpressEnterprise, I am hopeful to have my interview soon. At least my agent says so. In your opinion, how long would it take from: - interview to obtaining CSQ. - CSQ to Acceptance by the Government of Canada, i.e. "Federal part" What had been your experience, and what have you been...

Hi Ishitapatels, would you please elaborate on this. What industries/businesses should we invest in?

I have gathered all required documentation, mainly the latest bank statements and DHL'ed them to my agent. Let's see what comes next.

Why did you say "US is totally out of question for self employeds (especially for Indians and Chinese"? Did you explore the EB-5 program? If you can get $15k a month and the earning is traceable, EB-5 would be a good choice. If you want to migrate to Canada, you might consider Quebec Investor...

Hello XpressEnterprise, it has been quite sometime since we "talk", hoping life treats you well. I am at step 2, and it seems still have a long way to go. My younger brother received his CSQ in Jan 2015 but still waiting, has not heard anything yet.

Update. Today my agent asks me to resubmit bank statements with seal from the banks for all of my accounts and term deposits. They also ask me to resubmit my diploma with translation. Repetitive work but better than hearing nothing from them. Not sure what signal the MIDI is sending. In this...

Happy New Year guys. Wishing the New Year brings new hopes.
