The best way to invest in Canada
One of the most frequent questions asked by Canadian investment residence applicants is which investment program is better than other methods? The answer to this question depends on many factors. We suggest that you first answer the following set of questions and then based on your answers, the right method will be suggested to you by the consultants.
To decide on the best Canadian investment method, answer the following questions:
– Do you have a productive business in Iran that generates income?
– Do you plan to keep your business in Iran and go to Canada or close it and start a business in Canada?
– Is your purpose of getting an investment visa in Canada only to obtain permanent residence?
– Do you have a business idea that you intend to implement and want to earn money from in Canada?
– Do you have children who will be included in your immigration to Canada with investment program?
– Do you have the conditions to study in Canada?
Let’s make this clearer for you by examining two examples:
Example 1:
Consider a family where the husband and wife are about 45 years old and have four children. They own a productive and profitable business in Iran, but they do not intend to open a business in Canada. Their only purpose of immigrating to Canada is to benefit from the benefits of investing in Canada and obtaining Canadian residency by investing.
For an immigration case with these conditions, the Quebec investment program is probably the best investment method, because they have enough money, they do not intend to start a business in Canada, and their children can benefit from the benefits of free education.
Example 2:
Consider an entrepreneur in Iran who has a successful and productive company in Iran, who plans to work in Canada and expand his business. For this person, one of the provincial entrepreneurship programs such as the business method of the province of Manitoba or the business method of the province of British Columbia can be suitable. Because in any case, he plans to start a business in Canada and earn money from it.
