Quebec announced new quotas for its Entrepreneur and Self-Employed Worker programs for those who do not have a high level of French. There is no quota for those who can demonstrate an advanced intermediate level of oral French expression and comprehension.

The province will accept 25 applications under Stream One of its Entrepreneur Program, and 35 from Stream Two between November 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020.

Stream One is a pathway for individuals who score more than 41 on the Quebec Economic Class selection Grid. They must also intend to settle in Quebec to operate an enterprise that the entrepreneur creates, alone or with other persons, and that has received an offer of service from an enterprise accelerator, an enterprise incubator or a university entrepreneurship centre.

Criteria for Stream Two are more stringent, applicants need a score of 81 and have a net worth of at least $900,000, among other criteria.

Quebec’s Self-employed Worker Program will also accept 50 applications between November 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020.

This stream is for self-employed workers with a net worth of $100,000 who want to work in Quebec. Among other criteria, applicants need a start-up deposit of $50,000 if they are going to be based in Montreal, and $25,000 to be based in other parts of Quebec.#casansaar (Source - CIC News)
