Investment visa
One of the ways to immigrate to foreign countries is investment. Investment visa or golden visa allows people to stay temporarily reside in another country so that they can directly manage their capital and invest in different sectors and after a certain period of time they can apply for permanent residency.
If you are a businessman or manager who intends to immigrate to Canada through investment, the Canadian government has prepared several programs through which you can immigrate there. Canada intends to attract people who have a significant ability to contribute to their economy through business, investment, and entrepreneurship.
Keep in mind that people must buy at least 50% of the shares of one of the companies of that country in order to invest. In addition, the educational and managerial background of the applicant must be directly related to the area where the investment is made, in order to facilitate the process of obtaining a visa. On the other hand, the applicant must prove his abilities in the field of capital management in the country in question.
The time required to issue an investment visa varies depending on the government of the destination country, but it typically takes about 6 months.
What is the difference between an investment visa and an entrepreneurial visa?
Canada has a modern economy with the highest acceptance of business in the world. It is also a very active country where new business ideas are developed and created. If you are looking to immigrate to Canada as an entrepreneur, the Canadian government, as well as some others, have some attractive options.
In the Canadian entrepreneurial immigration method, after entering Canada, the applicant will be required to start a business.
