The Immigrant Investor Program was created in 1986 by the Canadian and Quebec government to attract successful business immigrants to Canada. At HSBC, we not only fully support these programs, we came up with options that work with them to make investment even more accessible for immigrants to Canada.
At HSBC, we believe Canada is a special place to live and to do business. We welcome citizens from around the world to consider our Immigrant Investor Programs.
The Immigrant Investor Program was created in 1986 by the Canadian government to attract successful business immigrants to Canada.
To participate, you must meet specific Immigration Selection Criteria, and be able to invest C$800,000 for 5 years under one of two available investment programs:
- the Federal Program, or
- the province of Quebec Program 1
See also Investment Financing Options & Benefits
Both programs are government guaranteed, assuring that your C$800,000 investment will be repaid in full, without interest, at the end of the 5-year period. If your application is successful, you and your immediate family will be granted Canadian Permanent Residence Visas.
