Why ITC iLand for Business & Investment Immigration
ITC iLand has guided entrepreneurs and investors through business and investment immigration since 1998 — provincial entrepreneur nominations, EB-5, golden visas, startup visas, and the real estate and business-acquisition work that often comes with them. Our licensed RCICs coordinate the immigration strategy directly with the commercial side of your move, so your file reflects real business substance, not just paperwork.
Frequently Asked Questions
Any pathway where your business, capital, or entrepreneurial experience — not a job offer or a points score — is the basis of the application. That includes provincial entrepreneur nominations, buying or investing in a business, startup visas, and investor programs like EB-5 or golden visas.
No. Every program has its own eligibility criteria, and government approval is never guaranteed. Real estate purchases in particular are not a scored factor in most points-based PR programs. Our RCICs assess your specific file before recommending any pathway.
Entrepreneur PNP requires you to actively start, buy or manage a Canadian business (typically CAD $150K–$500K+, depending on the province) and usually to relocate there. EB-5 is a passive investment of USD $800,000+ in a U.S. commercial enterprise — no active management required, but it leads to a U.S. green card, not Canadian PR. Which fits depends on whether you want to run a business yourself and where you want to live.
Yes — in most Canadian entrepreneur PNP streams you can purchase an existing business rather than starting one, provided it meets the minimum investment and job-creation thresholds. Our /invest listings are a good starting point: each is tagged with the immigration pathway it could unlock.
Yes. RCICs and immigration lawyers can co-counsel entrepreneur PNP files with our team under a written sub-retainer while remaining lead counsel (Track A), and non-licensed professionals can register as a CICC agent to introduce clients (Track B). See our B2B partner page for details.
