Investors are those with a net worth of at least $800,000 and a willingness to invest $400,000 through the Receiver General of Canada. They are reimbursed five years after landing in Canada.

MONEY:

The investor has two choices in terms of his/her investment:

1. Give $400,000 to the Government of Canada to distribute among the provinces. The money is locked in for five years, after which the investor gets the money back without interest.

2. Borrowing money to make the investment. Citizenship and Immigration has agreements with several banks and credit unions, all of which are members of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC). The banks provide different financial programs to help the investor fulfil the $400,000 requirement. After five years, the money is returned without interest.
