Questions
Business & Investor FAQs
Is there a fixed investment amount?
No single amount applies. Each provincial stream sets its own minimum investment and net worth, and they change over time, so we confirm current figures for the streams that fit you.
Can I get Canadian PR just by investing?
Federal and most provincial business routes expect you to start or actively manage a business, not only invest money. Quebec runs its own separate investor programme with different rules.
Can my family come with me?
In most business routes your spouse and dependent children can be included in the application.
