The average processing time for the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) in Canada is around 12 to 44 months. Why is there such a huge gap in the timelines? That is because the processing time depends on the country that you are applying from.North America, South America, and Western Europe sees shorter wait times. You may receive a Visa in as less as 12 months if you have applied from any one of the countries here.
You will experience much longer wait times if you apply from countries like China, Hong Kong, and Macau. The process time for these countries may be as high as 44 months.
QIIP is an immensely popular investor program in Canada. That is because it is the only program which can get you a PR through passive investment. The QIIP in Canada does not require you to start your own business venture.
