Investor Venture Capital(IIVC) Pilot Program - 변경 된 연방 투자이민

[Dream-iju]

연방 투자이민프로그램을 대체한 이민자 투자 벤처자본 시범프로그램(IIVC)이 1월 28일부로 시행되었습니다.

이 시범 프로그램은 1월 28일부터 2월 11일까지 500명의 신청자가 접수될 때까지 한시적으로 시행되며

이중 임의로 추첨하여 50개만을 선별할 예정입니다. 

자격요건

1. 지급 보증이 되지 않는 이민투자 벤처 자금에 2백만불을 15년간 투자 

2. 자산증빙 : 1천만 불 (합법적인 사업체 운영 증빙) 

3. 쿼터 : 50개 (무작위 선별)    
 4. 캐나다 학력인증 기관에서의 학력인증

 5. 캐나다 언어 기준으로 영어나 불어에서 CLB 5점 이상을 얻어야 한다. (CELPIP/ IELTS) 

기존 이민투자프로그램(IIP)이 80만불의 투자와 160만불의 자산만을 요구했던 것에 비하면

신청자격 요건이 매우 강화되었고, 투자금액과 자산의 자격요건 외에도 

영어와 불어 능력과 캐나다 학력인증을 요구하여 

투자금만으로는 이민이 매우 어렵게 되었음을 알 수 있습니다.   

The new Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Pilot Program

The Immigrant Investor Venture Capital (IIVC) Pilot Program is open for applications from January 28 to February 11, 2015.

Canada is attracting experienced immigrant investors who will contribute to our economic growth and long-term prosperity.

Benefits of the Program

• The Immigrant Investor Venture Capital (IIVC) pilot program is a new approach to immigrant investor programming in Canada, which is expected to have strong benefits for the Canadian economy.
• The program will target high-net worth business immigrants with skills and abilities that will help them integrate into the Canadian economy and society.
• Each investor will be required to make a $2 million non-guaranteed investment for 15 years into the IIVC fund. These funds will be invested in innovative Canadian-based start-ups with high growth potential.
• The pilot program will provide approximately 50 investors and their families with a pathway to permanent residence.

Overview of eligibility factors

Selection criteria under the pilot program are designed to attract investors with skills and abilities that will help their integration into the Canadian economy and society. These include:

• proven language proficiency in one of Canada’s official languages;
• education credentials: a Canadian post-secondary degree, diploma or certificate, or proof of a completed foreign education credential and an equivalency assessment from a designated organization; and
• a legally obtained net worth of at least $10 million derived from lawful, profit-making business activities, which will be verified by a designated due diligence service provider. Only applicants selected for processing will be required to obtain a due diligence report from a designated service provider.  
• Prove your proficiency in English or French-Minimum language levels of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 5 in either English or French      

Overview of the application process

Citizenship and Immigration Canada will accept up to a maximum of 500 applications within a specified period.

Applications will be selected randomly for processing until approximately 50 approved applications are finalized. Applications that are not retained will be returned.

It is expected that selected applicants will receive a decision on their applications within approximately six months of submitting all required documentation. Successful applicants will become permanent residents.

This approach will help prevent a backlog of applications, provide fair access to the application process to a greater number of applicants, ensure that a variety of applications are received and ensure efficient processing.
