+23 Would it be possible for a French citizen who won 10 million euros in the lottery to immigrate to Quebec, Canada?

Hi everyone! I’m a French citizen, and hypothetically, let’s say I won 10 million euros net from the Keno lottery (multiplier X5 on the last draw). I would love to living in Canada, specifically in the province of Quebec. I’m wondering if there are specific immigration programs or any particular pathways that could make it easier for someone in that situation to move there. I know Canada has various skilled worker programs, but with financial stability from lottery winnings, would that influence or facilitate the immigration process? Are there investment or entrepreneur programs that might apply, or would I still need to follow a more standard immigration route?
