Checklist

Assemble all your documents as listed. Check (0) each applicable item on the checklist and attach the checklist to your documents (a paper clip will do). Place all the documents in a sealed envelope.

Do not send originals. Send photocopies of all documents, except the Certificat de selection du Quebec (CSQ), if your intention is to live in the province of Quebec, and the police certificates, which must be originals. If your documents are not in English or French, send a notarized (certified) translation with a copy of the originals.

If you are unable to provide any of the requested documentation for special reasons, please attach a written explanation with full details as to why that documentation is unavailable.

from the relevant visa office. Your immigrant visa will not be issued unless the payment is made.

Your payment should include:

• your name (must be the same as the one on your form);
• your address;
• your immigration file number (B number);
• the location of the visa office that is processing your application; and
• two signed copies of the subscription agreement.

After you have paid your investment, you or your financial institution will receive a copy of the subscription agreement and the promissory note.

If you decide that you do not want to be an Investor but you have already made your payment, you must immediately contact the visa office processing your case and CIC headquarters in Ottawa to get your full investment back. Your investment will not be refunded if you have been issued a permanent resident visa.

If your application is not approved, you can request a refund of your investment. You will get your investment back within 90 days of requesting a refund.

Lastly, with regard to the business immigration category, please note that many provinces provide valuable information and services to assist business immigrants in setting up and successfully operating businesses in Canada. You can contact provincial and territorial governments (see the list of addresses below) and also CIC at their Business Immigration headquarters in Ottawa:
