Eligibility Criteria

Language

Applicants for most Canadian investor visas must prove language skills in English or French at least at Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 5 in four areas, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. These integration tools are language requirements, and they are tested using recognised language tests like IELTS, CELPIP, or TEF Canada. The test results should not be more than two years old at the time of application.

Education

Most Canadian investor visa programs do not have strict educational requirements, with the Quebec Investor Immigration Program being an exception, requiring a secondary school diploma equivalent to Quebec standards.

Age

Most Canadian federal investor visa programs, including the Start-Up Visa Program, do not have specific age requirements. However, some provincial nominee programs may have age restrictions or preferences, typically favouring applicants between 21 and 59 years old, as seen in programs like Newfoundland and Labrador's International Entrepreneur program and Prince Edward Island's Business Impact Category.

Canada’s Investor Visa programs are available through Provincial Nominee Programs, which demand big investment, high net worth, business experience, and language skills. Those who receive an offer have a chance to become legal residents of Canada, use governmental social services, and move within the country freely.

Visa Rejection Reasons

Factors that can get your visa rejected

Having no proof that one has sufficient money to spend during their stay, either through bank statements or financial guarantees, will result in a visa denial.

Inadequate or Inaccurate Documentation

Failure to prepare proper or inadequate documents leads to a direct rejection since all the documentation has to be perfect.

Previous Violation of Visa or Criminal Record

Staying beyond visa, breaching immigration rules, or even having a criminal record previously can be another important reason for your visa denial.

Failure to Provide Strong Ties in Your Country

Inability to show any strong personal, professional, or financial connections to your home country may raise a question over your intention to return.

Improper Justification of Purpose for Visit

Failure or ambiguity in explaining the purposes for visiting a country or failing to provide evidence like itineraries or invitation letters may result in your visa rejection.
