When do I, as an Immigrant Investor, commit my investment amount?

NOTE: The Federal Immigrant Investor Program was terminated on June 19, 2014.

Under the Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Pilot Program, the investment is only made once a candidate's application is approved. Information about the management of the fund, terms, and conditions, will be provided to immigrant investors in the agreement to be entered into with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC, formerly CIC). This agreement will have to be signed before applicants make their CAD $2 million at-risk (non-guaranteed) investment. For individuals pursuing immigration through the Quebec Investor Program, you must commit your CAD $800,000 investment amount before final approval by Quebec immigration officials.
