Investment is required only after passing the review, and the investment is supervised by the Canadian government. There are no age, language, or academic requirements. If one person succeeds, the whole family can obtain Canadian permanent residency at the same time.

Introduction to Canadian Federal Entrepreneur Immigration

Canadian federal entrepreneurial immigration is also known as the intra company transfer work visa, which means that a company outside Canada sets up a subsidiary in Canada and sends senior managers of the foreign company to work in the Canadian subsidiary, so that the senior managers can obtain a Canadian work visa, and the whole family can enjoy free local medical care and public education. After working for a period of time, they can apply for permanent residence through skilled immigration in the province of Canada. There is no quota limit for applying for this work visa, and there is no need for review by the Canadian Ministry of Labor. There are no requirements for the applicant's age, language and source of assets, and they can land in Canada within six months.
