participate in the program;

An Investor's net worth need not have been created by his/her own endeavors but, rather must have been "legally obtained" (which means it can be inheritance or gift, etc.).

*Financing solution to replace the C$800,000 required investment (90% of investors do this): If you do not wish to liquidate your assets to come up with the C$800,000 mandatory deposit, we can provide financing through a government approved financial institution. This fee will not be returned to you, and the financial institution will invest $800,000 with the government on your behalf.
