Immigrating to Canada

CANADA

Canada is the second largest country in the world with a population of 35 million. The country is one of the 8 most developed countries in the world and residents enjoy a high standard of living.

For those people who are concerned about personal security, environmental pollution, cost of medical services, and education for their children, Canada is an ideal country to live.

Canada's liberal immigration policies open the door to people from all nationalities. People in Canada are free to have their own religion and to express their own opinions. The country is an excellent example of multiculturalism.

Canada offers great business possibilities for investors and entrepreneurs. It is a member of NAFTA, enjoys good relations with many countries, and has substantial commercial trade with other countries including China.

Active Investment - Start or buy a business

Every Province in Canada has a program that allows accelerated immigration for businessmen that wish to move to Canada (with their families) and become permanent residents. These programs consider applications from businessmen who plan to invest and actively manage a business.

We specialize and assist in this area. We represent businesses of all types and sizes that are for sale across Canada. We provide all the relevant information in order to analyize and understand a company. We work with Buyers to negotiate the purchase, assist with financing and manage the entire transaction. We work with business and immigration lawyers to make sure the whole process is completed from start to finish.

Our services

Since we ourselves are immigrants to Canada and we have the experience and relations related to the immigration process we are able to advise new immigrants as to the best possible way to apply and to introduce them to sources of financing, lawyers and accountants. We can also introduce businesses for sale not just in British Columbia but also all the other provinces across Canada.
