              FREEEVALUATION
              Monday, 29 August 2016 / Published in Immigrant Investor Venture Capital, Immigration, Immigration Manuals

              Application Process and Who Can Apply – IIVC


              Last Updated on August 29, 2016

              This section contains details on policy, procedures and guidance that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) staff typically use. The authorities have posted this on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website as a courtesy to stakeholders.

              The Eligibility Criteria for Foreign Nationals to Apply in the Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Class

              The authorities permit foreign nationals to apply in the Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Class if they:

              • Have the ability to establish themselves economically in Canada

              • Intend to reside in a province other than Quebec

              • Have a minimum net worth of $10 million Canadian dollars that they have acquired legally through business or investment activity

              • Meet the minimum language proficiency threshold as demonstrated by the results of a designated language test

              • Meet the minimum education requirements prescribed (or have a minimum net worth of $50 million Canadian dollars and,

              • Make an at-risk investment of $2 million Canadian dollars into the Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Fund

              The Process for Submitting an Application

              The Centralised Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia, will be responsible for receiving all applications for permanent residence under the Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Class. They would need to do this within the specified intake period. This is in accordance with the prescribed Ministerial Instructions – refer to Appendix A.

              Situations could arise where the Centralised Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia, receives applications outside of the intake periods. Officers would need to return these applications to the applicants. In addition, they would need to return the fees to the applicants as well.

              The Eligibility for Processing

              Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) would need to check all the applications received during the prescribed intake periods. At this stage, they would typically check the applications for stage one completeness. However, they will only place the first 60 complete applications into processing. They would do this if these 60 complete applications meet stage two completeness as well. Moreover, the officers can place up to 60 additional applications on a waiting list. Thereafter, they could put these additional applications into processing, if needed.

              It is worth highlighting that intake will typically remain open under the Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Class until:

              • The authorities issue 60 permanent resident visas or approvals under this class

              • The authorities receive 60 complete applications and put them into processing and retain 60 additional applications that meet the initial completeness check requirements on the waiting list or,

              • December 30, 2015

              It is worth highlighting that this includes applications received during the previous intake periods that have cleared the first-stage completeness check. The officers would need to process these in accordance with the Ministerial Instructions in place at the time the authorities received these applications.

              Officers would need to go through the instructions regarding completeness checks. They would need to refer to this for assessing all applications. Moreover, applicants would need to note that they would need to have submitted applications in accordance with the requirements specified in section R10 and in the application kit. Only then would the officers consider these applications as being complete and eligible for processing.

              The Details Specified in R10
