For example, Stream 1 of the Quebec Immigrant Entrepreneur Program requires the management of a business in Quebec that the candidate created alone or with other partners (only 3 of whom can be foreigners), with support from a business accelerator, a business incubator, or a university entrepreneurship centre. Stream 2, on the other hand, requires that the entrepreneur have a legally acquired net worth of $900,000 and control at least 25% of the shares of a new enterprise, or at least 51% of an acquired enterprise. It is important to check the specific eligibility requirements for the program you are interested in.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b> Can I immigrate to Canada by investing money? <\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Quebec Investor Visa is Canada\u2019s only straight investment immigration program.
