The Quebec Program is for investors intending to establish permanent residence in Quebec. The investment requirement under this program is C$800,000. HSBC is pleased to offer the choice of two attractive financing facilities, both of which include an attractive one year complimentary banking services and privileges with HSBC Bank Canada (details below):
Financing Option #1 - Up-Front Financing Package (Quebec):
This package is designed to assist you in completing the C$800,000 investment requirement. You remit to HSBC an up-front amount that comprises of all fees and interest cost for the 5-year loan. In return, we will advance a loan to complete the C$800,000 investment requirement under the Quebec Program. Once the loan is advanced, HSBC Trust will remit C$800,000 to the Quebec government on your behalf. No monthly payments are required to service the loan, and you will not receive any interest or capital return at maturity. The total cost of this Up-Front Financing Package (Quebec) is therefore limited to your initial remittance.
Financing Option #2 - Flexible Financing Package (Quebec):
Under this option, you must first complete the C$800,000 investment via your own resources (full cash), knowing that the Quebec government will fully repay it in 5 years, without interest. After obtaining your Permanent Resident Visa and settling in Quebec, you may apply for our Flexible Financing Package. This option provides you with a personal line of credit with HSBC Bank Canada, at prime rate of interest, using your C$800,000 investment in the Quebec Program as security.
