Immigrating sa pamamagitan ng Namumuhunan sa Canada
Maaari kang bumili ng iyong paraan sa Canada?
Citizenship at Immigration Canada hindi maaaring ilagay ito nang eksakto sa paraang ito, but the federal Immigrant Investor Program, na kung saan ay reopened to prospective immigrants this month, is essentially a fast(siya) subaybayan upang Canadian permanent resident status if you don’t have a Canadian job lined up.
It just takes money.
To apply for permanent resident status as an Immigrant Investor in Canada, you now have to have a net worth of at least CAD$1.6 million AND be willing to make an investment of CAD$800,000.
You’re basically making a no-interest loan of $800,000 to the Canadian government for five years.
Talaga, you have to have business experience as well as money — either by owning (or part-owning) a business for at least two years or by managing at least five full-time employees for a similar period.
At mayroon ka pa ring magkaroon ng hindi bababa 35 puntos (out of a possible 100) mula sa immigrant investor selection criteria, na kinabibilangan ng mga:
- pag-aaral
- gumana karanasan
- edad (you get the most points if you’re between the ages of 21 at 49)
- English- and/or French-language ability
- “adaptability,” which means that you’ve either made a “business exploration” trip to Canada or participated in joint federal–provincial business immigration initiatives.
Under the previous Immigrant Investor program, you needed to have a minimum net worth of CAD$800,000 and make an investment of CAD $400,000.
Gayunman, the program became so backlogged with applications that the government has doubled the financial requirements, effective December 2010.
Ang processing times for investor applications are still quite lengthy — about two years for applicants from Taiwan, ang UK, at South Korea; roughly three years for applicants from the US, Alemanya, Hong Kong, at Tsina; and even longer times for applicants from other parts of the world.
Pa rin, if you’ve got the money, it offers a way to open the door to your new home in Canada.

Oo, the criteria are quite right. I applied for Canadian permanent resident status a while ago and it went exactly as written. I was lucky I made a trip to Canada year before and I could disguise it as business exploration trip – that nailed it!
