Our Free Business Visa Eligibility Assessment is designed to instantly determine if you are eligible to apply for a Business visa. Using the criteria established by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), it is the most comprehensive and technologically advanced online Migration Assessment tool available.

FEDERAL INVESTOR VISA BASIC REQUIREMENTS

To qualify for migration under the Federal Investor Immigrant Program, applicants must be able to satisfy the basic visa requirements related to an applicant's health and character. In addition, applicants under this program must:

• Have a minimum of two (2) years of executive business experience (ownership and/or management);
• Have a minimum net worth of C$800,000 (proposed to be changed to C$1,600,000);
• Make an investment of at least C$400,000 (proposed to be changed to C$800,000) to CIC;
• Obtain at least 35 points on a points-based assessment; and
• Have sufficient funds to support themselves and their family in Canada.

The points-based assessment awards points in areas related to an applicant's education, business experience, age, English and/or French language ability and adaptability.

FEDERAL INVESTOR VISA ENTITLEMENTS

Successful applicants and holders of a Canadian Business visa become permanent residents of Canada. Permanent residents are entitled to live, work and study in Canada on a permanent basis.

Investments made under the Federal Investor Immigrant Program are guaranteed and managed by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to create employment opportunities and boost local economies. Your investment will usually be returned, without interest, after approximately five (5) years.

Additional benefits of Canadian permanent residence includes access to government-subsidised education and healthcare (Medicare), as well as unrestricted access to Canada's labour market and associated insurance and pension benefits. Permanent residents also have the ability to apply for Canadian citizenship and opportunity to sponsor family members to join them in Canada.
