Self-employed worker program

Who Can Apply:

You can apply under this category if:

• come to Québec to create your own job by practicing a profession or trade on your own account.
• have net assets of at least C$100,000 that have been legally obtained with, where applicable, your married or common-law spouse provided he or she is accompanying you
• have at least two years of experience as a self-employed worker in the profession or trade you plan to practice in Québec.

How To Apply:

The Centre de services aux gens d’affaires (CSGA - service centre for businesspeople) or the Québec Immigration office covering your country will verify whether all the documents have been included with your application and send you an acknowledgement of receipt. It will also send you a list of missing documents, indicating the deadline for providing them, where applicable. If these documents are not received by the deadline, your application will be refused without further notice.

If you pass the preliminary evaluation process, you are invited for a selection interview.

How We Can Help:

We assess your case from the content provided to us by you through our free assessment forms or otherwise. The experienced staff at Gate Seven will provide you with a quick and accurate assessment of your qualifications under the present regulations and criteria of the Quebec Self Employed Class category. We then advise you whether you qualify or not. If qualified, we proceed to sign up a contract with you and follow all the procedures outlined in our G7 Consultant`s Professional Role Chart.

One of the areas where we excel is business and investor programmes. Our business investment team will help you not only plan a roadmap for you to be successful in Quebec but also prepare a business project report for you to present to CIC for successful assessment.

If an applicant does not qualify for Canadian Immigration under this class, we will advise the applicant on why he/she can’t apply at this stage. We may advise of what to work towards and achieve in order to qualify sometime in future.
