been apparently even more scarce in recent years. Negative temperatures can understandably frighten those from warmer parts of the world, but this should not be seen as a detrimental factor for a future life in the province.
As we have experienced, one of the most common motivations for people to settle abroad is the desire to better the lives of their children. We have seen that children and young adults who settle in the province not only quickly adopt and embrace the local culture, but also adapt to the climate as it becomes inseparable from the social experience.
Tobogganing and the winter Carnival de Québec are the enjoyable and necessary preludes to terraces and summer festivals. It should be noted that the perceived tundra that is Québec in the wintertime is not all that alien from many of the hometowns of the people looking for new opportunities. Iran and China represent two of the main immigration origins, and both have major population centers with winters averaging negative temperatures. Interestingly, China’ s second most populous province, the often chilly Shandong, has been coupled with Québec through bilateral economic cooperation since 2008 1.
QUÉBEC IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO DO BUSINESS
Québec specifically selected Shandong and China for amical economic relations because it clearly recognizes the enterprise and ingenuity of its people.
值得一提的是, 魁北克冬季的寒冷对很多新移民而 言并不陌生 。 伊朗和中国是魁北克移民的两个主要 来源国, 这两个国家的很大一部分人口都居住在冬 季温度可达零度以下的区域 。 自 2008 年起同魁北 克建立了双边经济合作关系的中国人口密度第二大 省山东省同样有着寒冷的冬天 。 1

同样, 魁北克也正努力创造具有竞争力的商业环境, 力求成为对于这些企业家具有吸引力 、 能推动其商 业目标顺利达成的优质目的地 。
魁北克临近美国主要城市区域的地理位置及其在国 际贸易协定中的广泛参与度使得在此经商和创立企 业的投资人能获得额外利好 。 虽然魁北克个人税率( 同加拿大和多数西方国家一样) 可能是众多潜在投 资人考虑再三的因素, 其企业税率却给创业投资人 带来了极大便利 。
魁北克多年来一直是加拿大境内为数不多的几个低 企业税率州之一, 根据彭博新闻社消息, 在过去三年 连续降低企业税率的基础上, 2018 年魁北克将进一 步推行企业低税率政策 。
