A savvy business owner or manager may qualify for the Federal Venture Capital Pilot Program if their personal net worth exceeds $10 million. For a period of up to 15 years, applicants must invest a minimum of $2 million in order to obtain an investor visa (Permanent Residency).

• Quebec Investors Program

Immigrants can set up roots in Quebec by applying for a Quebec Investor Visa. All applicants must have a net worth of $2 million and managerial experience in agriculture, commercial, industrial, or professional fields. A five-year investment of $1.2 million is required of eligible investors.

• Provinces’ Investor Nominee Programs

There are a number of provinces that offer an opportunity to immigrate to Canada with an investor visa by applying under their own investor stream of the Provincial 

Nominee Program. Each province will establish their own set of rules and eligibility requirements based on their own economy, opportunities and market gaps. If you are interested in living and investing in one particular province, you could be nominated through their provincial immigration program to begin your journey to a Canadian investment immigration visa.
