QUESTIONS, CONSIDERED
Investing in a future.
Your questions.
General information. Requirements can change; use the linked official guidance and individual professional advice for your circumstances.
How much do I need to invest in Canada to get permanent residence?
There is no single Canada-wide investment amount that buys permanent residence. Requirements differ by business pathway and may include experience, net worth, active management, and other conditions. WelcomeBC entrepreneur immigration ↗
Can I get Canadian residency simply by making an investment?
Investment alone does not grant residency. A business immigration route must be assessed against its current requirements, and an application must be approved. WelcomeBC entrepreneur immigration ↗
Does Canada offer citizenship by investment?
A purchase or investment does not replace the citizenship process. Citizenship applicants must meet the applicable requirements, including permanent resident status and other conditions. IRCC citizenship eligibility ↗
Does buying a Canadian business guarantee immigration approval?
No. A business purchase and an immigration application are distinct decisions. Assess the business independently and confirm whether the proposed activity fits an available pathway before signing or investing. WelcomeBC entrepreneur immigration ↗
Can I get residency by buying property in Canada?
Property ownership is not an immigration status. Purchase restrictions may also apply to non-Canadians. Obtain immigration and property-law advice before treating a purchase as part of your move. CMHC: non-Canadian property purchases ↗
Do I need to actively manage the business?
Some entrepreneur pathways require active management and performance commitments. The relevant program rules determine the required involvement; a passive investment should not be assumed to qualify. WelcomeBC entrepreneur immigration ↗
Can my family be considered in a business immigration plan?
Family considerations should be raised at the start. The applicable route determines how family members are included and which requirements they must meet. IRCC immigration pathways ↗
How long does business immigration take?
There may be several stages, and timing varies by route and individual case. Check the relevant provincial guidance and IRCC estimates rather than relying on one promised completion date. IRCC processing times ↗
Who handles the legal, tax, and accounting work?
TMP helps coordinate the relevant professionals. Legal, tax, and investment advice must be provided by appropriately qualified professionals under their agreed engagements. Confirm responsibilities and fees before work begins.
What should I discuss in the investor screening?
Outline your business background, intended activity, preferred destination, timeframe, and broad objectives. The initial screening is free; a full CAD 750 appointment includes specialist time and team preparation. Share detailed financial documents only after a suitable process is agreed.
