When comparing programs, we work through these questions with you

Every program differs in the status it grants, its requirements, its costs and its ongoing obligations. We help you understand each point, then make an initial assessment around your family's needs.

Type of status
Permanent residence or citizenship? Their legal bases and rights can be entirely different.
Requirements
Investment or contribution requirements, the main applicant's eligibility, and background checks.
Costs
Beyond the investment or contribution itself, understand the government fees and other related costs.
Family eligibility
Whether a spouse, children or parents can apply with you, and any age or dependency conditions.
Ongoing obligations
Residence requirements, conditions for keeping the status, and renewal or holding-period rules.

We also help with immigration to the USA, Greece, Turkey, Ireland, Portugal, Saint Lucia and the Philippines.

The RCIC licence covers Canadian immigration matters. Residency and citizenship programs in other countries are decided by those countries' governments under their own laws. Program conditions can change at any time; always check the latest official announcement.
