Investor immigration questions
Discuss the jurisdiction and current programme behind a proposed investor immigration plan.
Identify the actual programme before considering an investment.
There is no useful substitute for identifying the exact current programme, its jurisdiction and its requirements. An investment decision and an immigration assessment should be considered carefully together.
Quebec has its own immigration arrangements. Do not rely on an older website’s investment amounts, timelines or broad fast-track language. Confirm professional scope and current official instructions for the specific proposal.
Choose a specific programme, not a generic promise.
Investor immigration is often used as a broad marketing phrase. A useful discussion identifies the actual jurisdiction and programme, its current availability and the person’s role in the proposed arrangement. Commercial, tax and immigration questions may require separate professional advice.
How VSA can assist
VSA can assess the immigration questions raised by your business goals and explain the evidence to discuss. Commercial transactions, tax planning and regulated legal work may need independent advisers. We identify the professional scope before further work is accepted and do not promise an immigration outcome in exchange for an investment.
What to discuss in your consultation
- The proposed jurisdiction and named programme.
- Your intended activity, experience and circumstances.
- Which current official requirements and appropriate professional referrals need review.
Prepare for a useful conversation
Bring a short outline of the proposed investment and the immigration result you are hoping to explore.
A preparation checklist
- The programme or proposal being considered
- Business and management background
- Funding information and proposed commitments
- Family goals, intended province and any existing advice
This is a discussion checklist, not an application checklist. The records required depend on the route and your circumstances.
Start with a short enquiry. The office will explain consultation arrangements, fees and the appropriate document-sharing process before you send private records.

Agreed work follows the relevant process; changes in circumstances must be reported promptly.
Before you decide.
Can a financial investment guarantee Canadian immigration?
No. Do not treat an investment opportunity as a guaranteed visa or permanent residence. Ask which official programme applies and verify the professional and commercial arrangements separately.
How do I find the latest official requirements?
Use the government links below. Check the current programme page and its notices before relying on a summary, a past invitation round or another person’s experience.
What does the consultation cost?
Contact the office to confirm the fee, duration and format before booking. Further representation is a separate decision with a written scope and fee agreement.
