Canada's strong growth prospects and superior economic position have created a favourable foreign investment climate. Canada's pragmatic approach to economic management—strict banking regulations, stable banking system, low debt ratio, and economic immigration—has created a safe place to invest.
Effective from  December 1, 2010, Citizenship and Immigration Canada once again started accepting applications under the federal Immigrant Investor Program. For an individual to become eligible for migration under the new investor class program, the requirements as per the new regulations are summarized as under:

The applicant is authorized take back the complete amount of investment after five years. Though the provincial government does not give any interest on it, the investment is secured against any loss.
There is financing option available to the investor as well,Instead of depositing CAD$800,000; he may choose to pay a one-time financing fee in the range of CAD$200,000 to a government-approved financial institution. This fee will not be returned to him. The financial institution will then make an investment with the government on investor's behalf, using their funds.
Typically, the Investor class, unlike the Entrepreneur Class, is most suited to the applicant who does not intend to become active in an ongoing business in Canada. One of the major advantages of immigrating under this scheme is that participants are not required to start their own business in the country as in the case of the immigration under Entrepreneur program. Also, the all the provinces and territories completely guarantee safety of investment made by the applicant.
