The problem is the following, Quebec selects you, you get the CSQ, your money is invested and now the Fed's must do their job, medical and security checks and at times may even question why Quebec has accepted you. So the problem is why should Canada allow this system, which in fact does not work.
Quebec has been the favored program since the inception of the Investor program back in 1986. They created a grey zone, which was beneficial for Investors. No need to invest the full amount, use a broker and arrange a payout, so in the present program which has been put on hold, Investor puts up 190,000 or so and that is his cost. ( He is actually paying for a Visa ), The bulk of investors have lodged application through Quebec. So how does a federal officer feel when seeing all these Investors applying through Quebec and knowing he will not live there. He takes his time. It may sound stupid, but it's internal my friends.
Too make it easy, Federal officers were always against the Quebec Program, do you blame them, why lodge 2 applications, pay 2 processing fees. Canada is Canada, one system should be followed. The system does not work and it will never work until they wake up and stop all this nonsense. The Visa is issued by Canada, Medical and security is done by Canada. So instead of coming up with ways to simplify the processing of Immigrants like yourselves, they complicate it. Now they want to change the Investors program, my dear friends this program has been a scam from 1986 until they closed recently. Now they want to create a Entrepreneur Visa, trust me another scam.
This is why you honest and hard working people who choose the Investor program need to wait and wait and wait. A system that is working is the EB5 program in the USA. Yes you may hear of some scandals going on, but in every program you have some idiots who believe they can get around the rules and regulations, the fact is that Canada in the past has had major scandals as well, when the 150,000 programs were being sold and still today they have issues with PNP programs.
So, when will they learn.
You want to come to Canada, Be very patient, if you push, it will cause even more delays.
