Application Process
We have set up a very simple STEP 1, STEP 2 application process. You can count on IFCMontréal's expertise and consultative approach.

You can contact us at anytime to obtain further information.

STEP 1 – Pre-application

IFCMontréal has created a ten working day validation process with the Ministère des Finances du Québec who administers the tax program.

The company must provide IFCMontréal with an executive summary of its business intentions for their Montréal office.

STEP 2 – Application for a certificate of eligibility

Once the Ministère des Finances du Québec approves the pre-application, the company that intends to operate an IFC must obtain a certificate of eligibility.
IFCMontréal will provide you with all the information needed when you reach this point.

The company must obtain it's certificate on an annual basis and attach it to its corporate tax return. The annual certification process is done to ensure that the IFC continues to meet the requirements that permitted it to obtain its initial certificate.


For more details concerning fees for the corporation and employees, please consult the Act Respecting International Financial Centres.

Please send the executive summary to the attention of
