Montreal Gazette Dept: They also will have to prove a personal net worth of $1.6 million, twice the current amount of $800,000, to be accepted as a permanent resident under the immigrant investor program, according to Montreal Gazette. "When the gates reopen, it will be the race of the millionaires," said Richard Kurland, an immigration lawyer and the price of admission to Canada for some future immigrants will double to $800,000 under new federal rules going through final approval hoops. Canadian missions around the world stopped accepting applications under the existing investor criteria in June when the federal government proposed raising the dollar requirements. It has since engaged in a round of consultations over the new rules and is expected to lift the ban on new applications in coming weeks. As
reported in the news.
