Benefits of
investing in Canada

“Anybody can invest in Canada – even without a visa or status in the country“

Unlike many misconceptions, investors and business persons can easily invest in Canada without ever visiting the country and/or having a visa or status. Investing in businesses, funds, or real estate requires no status in Canada.

“Investment options without immigration in Canada“

For various reasons, many of our investor clients choose to keep their funds inside Canada without applying to immigrate. The form of investment can be a simple savings account, government bonds, investment funds, real estate, new or active business. Whether it be to provide accommodation for their children’s studies in Canada, purchasing an existing business, or creating a new branch of their own business inside Canada, Imperial Immigration Services Immigration provides the services required to complete a successful and transparent transaction for overseas clients. All purchases and assets will be in the name of the international clients and/or their own businesses or trusts.

“The lowest cost residency program in the western world“

Canada’s immigration programs offer permanent residency based on various investments. Canada’s program is the lowest immigration investment program in the western world with its passport ranked as # 6 in the world. The Canadian dollar is approx. 30% lower in value compared to the US Dollar, making it a very cost-effective and long term solution for applicants and their families. When comparing to EU golden visa options and the USA EB5 investment program, the Canadian business and entrepreneur immigration programs typically cost 50-75% less. It is one of the most affordable residency investment and immigration programs in the developed world.

“The fastest citizenship within the top 10 ranked passports in the world!”

Canada has one of the fastest options for citizenship and passports amongst the top-ranked developed countries (i.e. USA, UK, Switzerland, Germany, France, Japan, Austria, Norway, Finland, Spain or Sweden). Within three years of becoming a permanent resident, applicants can become eligible to apply for citizenship and a Canadian passport. Many of the business and investment immigration programs that our offices are offering allow permanent residency on arrival to Canada. Applicants who are international students or temporary foreign workers inside of Canada could have this time frame reduced to two years for citizenship after becoming a permanent resident. Contact us now to find out if you would be eligible under this category. The Canadian passport allows visa-free travel to 184 countries in the world, and it is one of the ONLY passports which allows free travel to the USA without any online application prior to arrival (i.e. ESTA).

“Invest your family’s future in Canada”

Imperial Immigration Services Immigration assists eligible applicants to invest their families’ future in Canada. Whether the investment in their children’s education, residency, and passports for their family, or monetary investment (such as real estate or business setup), all options are available to potential applicants. As a recognized multicultural country with a welcoming attitude towards new immigrants, it is a highly popular choice for many investors globally to settle their family inside Canada while they continue to operate their businesses in their home countries. A very fast and cost-effective package which we offer is called “Investor Family Settlement Package“ – contact us confidentially here to arrange an immediate quotation.

This tool allows the applicant to understand and select the citizenship investment program and passports which meet the most important criteria for themselves and their families.

Passive citizenship investment options

Almost all the citizenship investment programs offered on this site are passive investment options. This means that the applicant is not required to actively run or manage any business. The citizenship and passports are obtained based on net worth and payment for real estate or to the government fund of the country for which the application is made. It is the fastest and easiest process to obtain second citizenship and passport. The average processing times are between 1-3 months, and in many cases, the passport will be couriered to the investor in their own home country.

Residency through investment

Investors have multiple options to obtain both temporary and permanent residency in the EU and the USA through investment. In Europe, applicants can select between Portugal, Malta or Greece. The USA also has an EB5 option to obtain a green card through an investment in a designated project. In all cases, the processing of the residencies is very quick, except for a few nationalities under the USA EB5 program.
