Immigrant Investor Program (IIP) - Canada

The Canadian Immigrant Investor Program (IIP) is a pathway for wealthy individuals to obtain permanent residency in Canada by making a significant financial investment. Applicants must demonstrate substantial financial resources, make a government-approved investment (such as a deposit or business investment), and meet other criteria like managerial experience and intention to settle in Canada. The goal is to attract experienced investors who can contribute to Canada’s economic development. The program emphasizes economic benefit rather than mere capital transfer, offering a route to citizenship for qualified applicants, though it has undergone changes and reforms over time.
