Invest in Long-Term Growth

Canadians understand that there are citizens of other countries who wish to secure permanent resident status in Canada with a view to citizenship. There are numerous ways to achieve citizenship, including through the investment/entrepreneur programs established at both the Federal and Provincial levels. These programs are designed to attract successful, business-minded people to Canada who will invest their time, money and energy in order to achieve long-term growth for themselves and the country.

Fiducia has an extensive understanding of these programs, together with a network of connections within Canada’s investment and business communities. This combination is intentionally designed to lead to permanent resident status for our clients, together with future economic security and success.
