Investor Visa

Investor Visa

Under the Investors Program, a potential business immigrant must evidence extensive business knowledge in addition to substantial capital.

Investors must have a net worth of 1.6 Million CAD$ legally obtained and make an investment worth 800,000 CAD$ to the Receiver General for Canada. Investments are guaranteed by participating provinces and territories and must be made when advised to do so by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).

Depending on the exact date you make the investment, it will mature 5 years and 3 months from that date. The investment is not returned with interest. The money invested will be used to fund job creation and economic development within Canada.

The Investors Program is also a points-tested visa and requires a pass mark of 35 out of 100 points, assessed on six main factors including age, education, business experience, language ability, and adaptability.

Business Experience Requirement

Investors must have at least two years of business experience immediately before applying to CIC. They must have either:

  • Controlled and managed a percentage of equity in a qualifying business
  • Managed at least five full-time job equivalents per year in a qualifying business
Additional Highlights
  • No requirement to start a business in Canada
  • No proof of language proficiency required
  • No higher education required
  • Ideal for high-net-worth individuals who are retired or planning retirement
