INVESTOR REVIEW
Passive investment route

Passive investor routes are limited.

Most Canadian business immigration streams require active business ownership or operation, not only passive investment.

If you prefer passive investment, your options may be narrower and may depend on language ability, net worth, timing, and current program availability.
