BOISCHATEL · EB-5 FIELD GUIDE

Which Québec documents does a Boischatel investor need for an EB-5 source-of-funds file?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Notarial deeds of purchase and sale for each property, mortgage statements, municipal and school tax records, personal income tax returns for the accumulation years, bank statements showing proceeds and transfers, and certified translations of everything in French.

Québec's notarial system makes the property chain easy to document

The strength of a real-estate-funded EB-5 file is that Québec property transactions leave a notarized record. Obtain from the notary the deeds of purchase for each property, the deeds of sale, and the statements of adjustments showing net proceeds. Pair each purchase with the bank statement showing the down payment leaving the couple's account and the tax returns of the years in which those savings were earned.

Add mortgage payout statements from the lender. Hypothetical example: the Boischatel couple's older triplex was bought with an inheritance; that requires the will or the notarial declaration of transmission and the estate account records as well. Then follow the sale proceeds: deposit, any movement between accounts, currency conversion confirmation, and the wire to the U.S.

escrow. USCIS also wants identity documents, a résumé or employment history, and, for the enterprise, the subscription agreement and offering memorandum. Translate all French documents and keep the originals accessible for the I-829 stage years later.
