Will my family be included in the Immigrant  Investor  file and allowed to immigrate from the UK to Canada under my Immigrant Investor status visa ?

You direct family will be part of the same Investor Immigrant file under theses conditions: your spouse or common law partner is included and you children will be included if they are under the age of 22 years old and if not married. There are some possible exceptions even if your child is recently married or you children are over 22 years old but have studied full time after the age of 22 .

What is the definition of a required Net Worth for the Investor Immigration Program ?

A required Net Worth means all the assets that you have accumulated through your life minus all pending liabilities.  As an example, you own a property (your residency) which is worth 400,000 GBP on the market, but you have a bank loan of 100,000 BGP left to pay on this property.  As a result, the net worth of this property is 300,000 GBP.

As a second example, you own a rental property that is worth 200,000 GBP on the market and is 100% paid, you will add the 300,000 GBP of Net Worth from your residency + the 200,000 GBP from the rental property. In total you now have a net worth of 500,000 GBP. You might have also money in the bank, stock and a value for you company. In total you need about 1,000,000 GBP or 1,600,000$ Canadian of Net Worth .

Do I need to sell my properties in the UK and liquidate assets I own to bring 1,600,000$ to Canada?

The answer is no, you only need to prove that you own the 1,600,000$ Canadian of assets. You can continue running your business or maintain your employment for a period of time and do what you want with your assets. The only amount of money you need to provide to the bank are the financing fees of 220,000$ Canadian and around 4,000-6,000$ Canadian ( government fees ) payable directly to the government or through the firms In trust account  for the Investor application.

My net Worth is only 300,000 GBP, can I borrow money from someone to meet the program requirements ?

The answer is no, or else it cannot be considered a Net Worth, as you would increase your debt, remember that the calculation for a net worth is Asset value minus all debt = Net Worth.  This said , The Quebec Immigrant investor program allows the Immigrant Investor or the spouse (common law partner) to receive a donation officially with documents from anyone. The donation can be money, stocks, a property and other assets but it must say clearly that it is a donation, not a loan. Ask us to help you with this.

Do i need to start a business to be accepted as an Immigrant Investor?

You do not need to do anything other than pay the 220,000$ Canadian of financing fees. You are not obligated to work or do any business at all.  This will be your right and privilege as a Permanent Resident of Canada.

How can VIP Business Immigration offer a Limited Fee service when other charge full fees up to 20,000$ Canadian for the Investor Immigration application and Permanent Residency?

Well it is a business decision which works very well for  VIP Business Immigration. As we do not charge full fees to prepare the investor file , manage relations with the banks, prepare the Immigrant Investor for the interview, and apply for Permanent Residency ,  we only accept potential immigrant investors with a verified Net Worth , proven business experience or proven qualification as a Manager or Director . Where other firms will accept all “declared” Immigrant Investors that are willing to pay, but very few are accepted. Our success rate is very high, therefore we are  well paid by the banks and brokerage firms only when the Immigrant Investor receives the Permanent Residency visa.  With VIP business Immigration business model, everyone is a winner.

When does the Immigrant Investor have to pay the 220,000$ Canadian in required  financing fees?

Once we deposit your business immigration file, under the Quebec Investor Program about 4-5 months later, you will receive you acceptation letter from the Quebec Authorities (means you are approved by Quebec which almost guarantees your Federal Approval) or you will receive an  approval after 12 to 14 months  under the federal program . From that moment, you have 60 days to pay your financing fees of 220,000$ Canadian. You will be able to open a Canadian bank account once we have deposited your business immigration file. We will assist in this also.

What is the entire Investor Immigration timeline, the waiting time and the government fees to be paid for the application process?

In general, if you provide the required documents in 1 months period, we need 1 month to process your file. So it would take 2 months to deposit your file + a 4 to 5 months waiting period to receive your approval under the Quebec Investor Program or 12 to 14 months under the Federal Investor Program . Once you are approved, if you process your payment of 220,000$Canadian immediately, there is an average 8 months waiting for Immigrant Investors from the UK for the Permanent Residency Visa from the Canadian Government under the Quebec Investor Program . In total as a result you can expect a 14-18 months required to receive your Permanent Residency Visa which is the official document that allows you and your family to immigrate to Canada with a Permanent status

How can increase my Net Worth in order to be admissible under the Immigrant Investor Program ?

Often, the Immigrant Investor has properties as part of  his/her Net Worth. The best way to increase your Net Worth is you ask for a local written evaluation of your properties from a certified evaluator. This value will not be challenged by the Canadian and Quebec immigration officers unless it seems not logical or the documents are not properly stamped or signed. Only under the Quebec Investor Program you can receive a donation to increase your Net Worth ( ask us how it must be done)
