RELOCATING TO CANADA

Residency and citizenship by investment allow wealthy investors to earn residency or citizenship in a new country by making a qualified investment. These investments can be in the form of a real estate purchase, placing money directly into the jurisdiction’s government, or any approved investment.

The country features a high standard of living, reliable infrastructure, and a clean environment. They also have some of the best schools and hospitals with a free health care system. This is very appealing for those living in the US or other countries with expensive healthcare.

The investor and their family will need to be in good standing, medically and with the law.

Section 205 Work Visa 

With this option, investors will set up their own business in the country, register with Revenue Canada, open a bank account for the business, and deposit funds for the needs of the business. The applicant will also be asked to develop a business plan that includes how this company will benefit Canada culturally, socially, or economically. It takes about six months to earn this visa. After a year of successful business, the investor can apply for permanent residence.

Quebec Immigrant Investor Program

The Quebec Immigrant Program, or QIIP, earns investors visas to the province of Quebec after investing CAD 1.2 million to the government for five years, interest-free. After 24-36 months, the investor and their family can obtain permanent residence. The investment is utilized by the government of Quebec for economic development. After five years, the full amount of the investment is paid back. This program does restrict the investor to the province, which includes Montreal and Quebec City.

Provincial Nominee Program

Some provinces have their own immigration programs centered around business, similar to the Section 205 Work Visa, known as Provincial Nominee Programs, or PNPs. These programs skip work permits, and the investor gets permanent residence immediately. Each province has its own requirements, but they typically include a specified minimum net worth, a minimum investment in a business, have business experience, and meet basic education and language requirements. Interested investors will likely be required to travel to meet provincial officials to meet the requirements.

Express Entry Program

Express Entry is a program on the federal level that allows skilled workers to apply for residence. When applying, they are placed into a ranked list of other applicants based on measurements of foreign work experience, time in Canada, and knowledge of the country and the spoken languages, English or French. Individuals with the highest scores are selected to apply for permanent residence.

Quebec Entrepreneur Program

The Quebec Entrepreneur Program grants permanent residence to investors who meet the following criteria.

They must hold net assets that amount to at least CAD 300,000.

Applicants must have at least two years of experience running a business.

The entrepreneur will have to acquire or create at least 25% of a company’s equity in Quebec with an investment of at least CAD 100,000.

Inter-corporate Transferee Work Visa.

This is a particular option for individuals who transfer from a company abroad to an affiliated Canadian company where they will work as an executive or special knowledge. Interested applicants will need to work for the company in at least one of the past three years. Also, the job the applicant intends to perform in Canada must be similar to the job they perform currently. After holding the visa for one year, visa-holders can apply for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class.

Obtaining Canadian Citizenship

 After earning permanent residence, the applicants who are seeking citizenship will have to take all of the necessary steps. They can apply for citizenship after three years of permanent residence.
