The Canadian Immigration Investor Program requires the applicant to make an investment of CDN $800,000. This investment is placed with the Receiver General of Canada. In addition, you must have a net worth of CDN $1.6 million. Participating provinces then use your investment to create jobs and help their economies grow. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will return your investment to you, without interest, in approximately five years, after you have become a permanent resident. Many potential business immigrants, though able to meet the program's net worth requirements, may have difficulty raising the assets required in a short period of time, or they may not wish to tie up their money for a period of five years while receiving no interest on the transaction. There is an alternative: you may finance your investment. You have the option to receive a loan from a financial institution in Canada for up to 70% of the investment.
