Obtaining Canadian residence through a Canada Investor Visa has attracted the attention of many foreign entrepreneurs in recent years. Having a permanent residence in Canada, the second largest country in the world with special laws for its citizens is the desire of many people. Due to the cold climate, Canada has a low population density; as a result, the need for labour in this country has increased and has caused diversity in the country’s immigration programs. Every year, the number of people who intend to immigrate to Canada increases, and according to statistics, Iranians account for a significant part of this population.
After obtaining a temporary residence, people can change it to permanent by following specific rules and conditions. About five years after receiving permanent residence, a person can apply for citizenship and a passport if they have no crime, pay taxes, and finally get used to the culture of this country.
One of the differences between permanent residence and citizenship is the expulsion of immigrants from Canada if they commit a significant crime. Also, they must have been present in Canada for some days of the year if this is optional for citizens. Also, permanent residents cannot be employed in sensitive government jobs.
Required Documents to obtain permanent residency in Canada
The conditions and documents for each method of immigration and residence in Canada are different, but in general, among the required documents, the following can be mentioned.
- PR application form and fee payment receipt
- Providing identity, educational and occupational documents and passport
- Having the required points in the language certificate and presenting it
- Medical and health certificate, as well as no bad background
The payment amount varies according to your immigration method. Also, the duration of the process of document verification and obtaining Canadian residence depends on the chosen method of immigration. For example, in the Express Entry method, it takes about six months to get a study permit, at least four and at most twenty weeks. Generally, a person must have lived in Canada for two of the last five years to be granted permanent residence. After five years, the validity of the immigrant residence card expires, and he must renew it by paying a lower fee. The duration of its extension varies from fifty days to one year, and the person can receive the card if he has not committed a crime and has a physical presence in Canada.
5 Ways to Get Canada PR by Investment
In the global ranking, Canada ranks second in terms of sound quality of life, an advanced education system with high efficiency, and a large amount of healthcare and medical personnel. There are different ways to immigrate and obtain permanent residence.
Obtaining a Canadian investment visa has different methods, with only some leading to permanent residence. For example, investing through the purchase of property may be profitable, but it will not play a role in obtaining residency. Also, some methods create the conditions for securing residency after a few years.
1. Canada Startup Visa
In this way, you can get accommodation from the beginning, and it costs about 50 to 100 thousand dollars. By presenting a creative and new business plan that is unmatched in the state, you can apply for permanent residence in Canada. In innovation, there is no need to hire Canadian workers, and you can even apply for a loan to implement your idea.
2.Entrepreneur Immigration Canada
After knowing the desired city’s work rules and conditions, you can enter Canada and start your business investment by receiving a two-year visa. In this way, hiring at least two Canadian members will be necessary. The initial cost of investing in this way is around 100 to 600 thousand dollars, and after two years, you can apply for permanent residence.
3. Intra-Company Transfer Visa (C12 Visa)
Some people want to establish a new company branch in another country. Of course, this method only applies to some Canadian cities, costing about 100 to 200 thousand dollars. It should be noted that jobs related to immigrants have grown faster and more successfully than citizens.
4. C11 Work Permit
Work migration is one of the fastest, cheapest and ultimately the best methods. To enter Canada in this way, first, a person’s degree and expertise are examined according to the level of need in the country. Creating a job opportunity in Canada is done in two ways: receiving a job offer (invitation from a foreign company or individual) or the Express Entry system (quick entry). The great advantage of the Express Entry system is that, after receiving a Skilled Worker or work visa, you will immediately receive permanent residency from the government.
5. Canada Self employed Visa
The self-employed visa as a temporary residence is granted to artists, athletes, and farmers who must have had activities in their specialized field during the last five years. After some time and passing the relevant processes, these people can apply for permanent residence.
