INTRODUCTION
1. Purpose
The purpose of this document is to simplify the presentation of documents required for the examination of an Application for a Québec Selection Certificate submitted by a foreign national as an entrepreneur immigrant.
2. Context
The Act respecting Immigration to Québec states that the Minister shall issue a Selection Certificate to a foreign national who meets the selection conditions and criteria determined by regulation (s. 3.1). This Act also requires each person who applies for a Selection Certificate to demonstrate the truthfulness of his declarations to the Minister (s. 3.2.1). The applicant is responsible for determining which documents will enable the Minister to examine his application. This section of the Act also states that the applicant must submit to the Minister any document that the Minister deems to be pertinent.
The Regulation respecting the Selection of Foreign Nationals further stipulates that the applicant must produce the documents requested by the Minister to determine if he/she meets the requirements of the Regulation in the framework of examining his application (s. 9). The notice to appear at the interview states which documents the applicant must submit in support of his application (s. 8).
3. Definition of entrepreneur
The Regulation respecting the Selection of Foreign Nationals defines an entrepreneur as a foreign national at least 18 years of age who has at least two years of experience in the operation of an enterprise acquired in the five years preceding the date of filing his/her application, and who is coming to Québec:
i) to create or acquire an enterprise to manage himself/herself, or to participate as an associate in the management and daily operations of an enterprise, and control at least 25% of the equity, alone or with his/her accompanying spouse or de facto spouse, this percentage being worth at least CAN$100,000, if the enterprise is:
- an agricultural enterprise situated and operated in Québec;
- an industrial or commercial enterprise situated and operated in Québec that will employ, on a permanent basis and for a minimum of 30 hours a week, at least one Québec resident other than himself/herself and accompanying family members.
ii) after acquiring, alone or with his/her accompanying spouse or de facto spouse, at least 25% of the equity of an enterprise described in sub-paragraph i), this percentage being worth at least CAN$100,000, to manage it himself/herself or to participate as an associate in the management and daily operations of the enterprise.
To qualify as an entrepreneur, an applicant must show:
- that he/she has net assets of at least CAN$300,000, obtained legally with the accompanying spouse or de facto spouse, if applicable;
4
- that he/she meets the definition of experience in the operation of an enterprise which is defined as : the actual assuming on a full time basis of responsibilities and duties related to the planning, management and control of material, financial and human resources in a profitable and legal agricultural, commercial or industrial enterprise of which he/she controls at least 25% of the equity, alone or with his/her accompanying spouse or de facto spouse, excluding the exercise of such duties in the context of an apprenticeship, training or specialization process attested to by a diploma;
- that he/she has the ability to implement a business plan, or is presently acquiring or has acquired an enterprise in Québec;
- that he/she qualifies under the selection grid (eligibility criteria and passing score).
The applicant must also satisfy the following conditions for at least one year in the three years after he/she obtains permanent resident status:
- control, along with his/her accompanying spouse or de facto spouse, if applicable, at least 25% of the equity of an enterprise established in Québec, this percentage being worth at least CAN$100,000;
- participate in the management and daily operations of the enterprise;
- employ on a permanent basis and for a minimum of 30 hours a week, at least one Québec resident other than himself/herself and accompanying family members.
4. Presentation of the list
This list identifies the documents generally needed to meet regulatory requirements. It also contains information specifically applicable to candidates served by the Québec Immigration Office in Hong Kong or in other territories covered by the Service aux gens d’affaires (SGA) in Montréal.
The “Sent” box should be checked off for each required document enclosed with an Application for a Québec Selection Certificate, for both the principal applicant and, if applicable, the spouse or de facto spouse included in the application. This checked list must be attached to the documents.
The spouse or de facto spouse who is included in the application must submit the required documents in cases where the principal applicant has access to all or part of the spouse’s net assets to reach the threshold of CAN$300,000.
For faster processing of a file, the documents required from the principal applicant and, if applicable, the spouse or de facto spouse included in the application should be arranged according to the order in which they appear on the list and identified by a tab bearing the corresponding number on the list.
5. Examination of the file and collection of fees
An Application for a Selection Certificate must be submitted to one of the addresses provided in Appendix 1 of this list, depending on the country of the foreign national. Details on the payment of fees and payment method are provided in Appendix 2.
The fees charged to process the file are collected at the time that the file is received by the Québec Immigration Office (BIQ) or the Service aux gens d’affaires (SGA) in Montréal. 5
6. Presentation of documents
Photocopies of documents must be of excellent quality or they will not be accepted. For some documents, the original document or a notarized copy is required when the application is submitted. If the applicant is unable to present certain documents, he/she must include an explanation and provide a substitute document, where applicable. The explanation and substitute document should be inserted where the documents they are replacing would have appeared.
7. Translation
All documents written in a language other than French or English must be accompanied, when the application is submitted, with a certified translation of these documents into either of these two languages. Translations of additional documents, such as advertising brochures, organization charts, corporate brochures or newspaper articles, do not need to be certified.
8. Updating the application
Applicants in the entrepreneur subclass who wish to update their file to include new information that arises after their immigration application was submitted (e.g., creation of a new enterprise) must do so as soon as possible after the event or, if applicable, at least ten (10) business days prior to the interview date. The documents attesting to these new facts must reach the BIQ in Hong Kong (for applications from the area covered by this office) or the SGA (for other territories) by mail and be accompanied by a list of the documents in question. The same procedure applies for updating the personal assets of the applicant.
Applicants who, after filing their Application for a Selection Certificate send unsolicited documents that were or should have been available at the time of filing the application, concerning events that occurred prior to the filing of the application, will see the processing of their file interrupted and it will be placed at the end of the wait line for complete processing. This situation could result in the postponement of a selection interview already confirmed.
If the documents attesting to the new facts reach the BIQ or SGA after the ten-day period or if applicants present them on the day of the interview, the interview may be postponed. Furthermore, the BIQ and SGA reserve the right to postpone an interview even if documents attesting to the new facts are presented within ten (10) business days prior to the interview, in cases where there are many documents or they require an analysis that cannot be completed within ten business days.
Finally, if the examination of the applicant’s file or the interview reveals assets or economic activities that were never reported in the immigration application, the examination of the file or the interview could be suspended and a letter of intent to reject on grounds of misleading information could be sent to the applicant.
9. Presenting documents at the interview
The originals of all documents are required at the interview. If the applicant can justify why an original document is not available, he/she must present a certified true copy from the institution that issued it or the duly authorized legal authority. In the justified absence of the original or a copy from the issuer or duly authorized legal authority, the applicant may submit any other certified document. The Ministère will determine its validity and admissibility.
10. Use of an immigration intermediary and power of attorney
All applications submitted are processed according to the same criteria. No priority or special treatment will be given if the services of an immigration intermediary be used. If an applicant uses the services of an intermediary, he/she must send a 6
detailed power of attorney mandating a representative. The power of attorney used in dealings with the federal government cannot be used to apply for a Québec Selection Certificate.
11. Accuracy of information given
The applicant is responsible for the accuracy and veracity of the documents and information submitted with the Application for a Québec Selection Certificate and for any information or document provided on his/her behalf by a person who he/she mandates.
The Ministère may consult third parties to verify the veracity of the documents submitted. A false declaration could result in the rejection of an application and the refusal to examine any other Application for a Selection Certificate from this applicant for a period of five years. 7
