Canada, the world’s second largest country, is one of the most diverse nations in the world with tolerance and multi-culturalism protected at the heart of government. The country has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. It also has wide, open spaces and safe affluent cities. It is a sports and leisure paradise, whether it’s skiing down Whistler’s mountains, surfing at Nova Scotia’s swells or kayaking on the South Nahanni River. Canada is well-suited to families and enjoys a stellar academic reputation ranked in the top 10 countries in the world.
The Quebec Immigrant Investor Programme allows investors to obtain Canadian permanent residency for an investment of 1.2 million Canadian dollars, however it has been suspended until April 2021 in order to allow time for a review. As one of the wold’s most longest-running programmes, it has garnered a world-class reputation for efficiency, transparency and reliability in its application process.

Our clients' stories
Real Estate Investment in Europe
We would like to express our deepest gratitude on behalf of our entire family. When applying for Montenegrin citizenship through your service, we could hardly believe we would manage to complete everything correctly and on time. Your professionalism and organization helped us gather a huge set of documents in just a few days, even though our paperwork was scattered across three different countries.
Ability to Travel Freely to EU Countries for Russian Citizens
Our main question was how to get visa-free access to Europe for the whole family, including our children and father. We heard that Greece allows parents but does not accept Russian citizens. We had never heard of Vanuatu before, but now we are its citizens with Greek residency. Thank you!
Freedom to Travel in Europe
Thank you, we did it! I didn’t believe we would make it in time, then I doubted it would be approved, and now I have my Grenadian passport!
Freedom of movement
It is clear that this team prioritizes not overburdening the client and always comes forward with ready recommendations.
Immigration with Citizenship Acquisition
I can’t believe it’s been almost 7 years—time just flew by, and now, finally, the passport…
Residence permit for retirees
Obtaining a European residence permit as a retiree in Bulgaria was an unexpected suggestion from Beyond—I didn’t even know it was possible. I decided to take the risk, and I have no regrets.
Free travel across Europe
Very beautiful passports, and as my mom said: blue suits us very well!
Frequently Asked Questions
Obtaining the letter of support is a critical and required step to applying for the SUV Program, but alone does not guarantee that you will be approved. IRCC will review each application and ensure that you meet the eligibility and admissibility criteria, that you have sufficient funds to support yourself and your family when you arrive in Canada, and that you have passed a medical examination and security clearance checks.
You will be free to establish in any Province, other than the Province of Quebec. There are designated organizations across the country, who can support you regardless of where you choose to settle with your family and establish your business.
There is no minimum amount. The amount you will need to personally invest in your business will vary based on the type of business. We expect that at a minimum, a business will require an initial investment of at least CAD$100,000 to launch and become operational. There are some initial expenses at the launch of a business, and you want to be sure that the company is well-funded from the beginning. But in most cases additional investment will be required from the entrepreneur.
There is no requirement that the applicant have prior management experience. In assessing your application, the designated organization will assess the viability of the business under your management. Plenty of entrepreneurs never had previous management experience before launching their first start-up business and went on to create highly successful businesses.
First, the Business Incubator that you are seeking support from will review the viability of your business proposal. Next, the Department of Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada will review your immigration application to make sure you have received the necessary support to apply and to make sure you’re eligible and admissible to become a permanent resident. In some cases, your application may also be subject to an independent peer review process. The peer review process ensures that your activities and those of the Business Incubator are in line with industry standards.
Yes –up to 5 people can apply through the SUV Program as owners of a single business. When reviewing your proposal, the business incubator will decide who is and who isn’t essential to the business. If IRCC refuses the application of any of the entrepreneurs, for any reason, all related applicants will be refused.
To get support from a VC Fund or angel group, you need to secure a minimum investment of CAD200,000 or CAD75,000 respectively from them. A business incubator on the other hand won’t invest any funds but will agree to support your project and accept you into their business incubation program.
If your business fails, it does not affect your permanent resident status. IRCC recognizes that not every business will succeed, and the SUV Program is designed so that the risk is shared between the public and private sector.
Yes. You must provide active and ongoing management of this business from within Canada.
Yes. The Program is designed for entrepreneurs with the skills and abilities to start a business in Canada.
