The Immigrant Investor Program seeks to attract experienced business people who are able to invest C$400,000 in Canada’s economy. Investors must show they have:

  • Business experience.
  • A minimum net worth of C$800,000 that was obtained legally and make a qualified investment:

Investment Options

  • $400,000 Investment: Citizenship and Immigration Canada will return your C$400,000 investment, without interest, about five years and two months after payment
  • $120,000 Investment: No refund given on investment:

Business Experience

  • Two years experience within the last five years (beginning five years before the date of application and ending on the date of the interview decision) managing a “qualifying business” and controlled a percentage of equity of the qualifying business, or;
  • managed the equivalent of at least five full-time employees per year in a business for at least two years in the period beginning five years before the date of application, or;
  • a combination of one year of experience described in the first point plus one year of experience described in the second point above.

“Net assets” means the assets of the business, minus the liabilities of the business, plus shareholder loans.
“Net income” means after tax profit or loss of the business plus remuneration by the business to the applicant.
“Net worth” means the fair market value of all of the assets of the investor and their spouse minus liabilities. Only the applicant’s inheritances can be included.
“Percentage of equity” means the amount of shares the applicant owns

“Qualifying business”
Take the percentage of equity multiplied by the following points of which an applicant must fulfill two:

  • Two full-time job equivalents per year;
  • The total annual sales is equal to or greater than $500,000;
  • The net income in the year is equal to or greater than $50,000, and;
  • The net assets at the end of the year are equal to or greater than $125,000.

Note: Although Investor applicants are assessed according to a point system most investors easily pass the minimum requirements.
