Canadians Investing in U.S. Real Estate and Businesses
Canada to USA was established to provide a trusted one stop resource to comprehensive cross border tax and immigration planning for Canadians who are investing in U.S. real estate or U.S. based businesses. We highly recommend speaking to our cross border team prior to making any U.S. investments to ensure everything is structured correctly for your business or real estate purchase.

BUSINESS & IMMIGRATION
Canadians have two main options to invest in U.S. based businesses in exchange for a visa or green card, these are the E-2 treaty trader visa or the EB-5 green card program. The E-2 visa allows Canadians to make an investment in a business enterprise. The business must be active, the investment must be substantial and at risk, and the investor must oversee and direct the day-to-day operations. The visa is valid for five years, and may be renewed indefinitely so long as the business continues to operate. The EB-5 investor green card program allows Canadians to invest $500,000 to $1 million in a business enterprise in exchange for a green card. Our team will help select the best immigration program for you and your family.
