The Canada-United-States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) Investor program stands as a pivotal avenue for fostering economic ties and facilitating cross-border business ventures among citizens of the United States, Mexico, and Canada. This program extends an opportunity for eligible investors from the U.S. or Mexico to immerse themselves in the Canadian business landscape by either establishing new enterprises or injecting capital into existing businesses. Central to this initiative is the provision of work permits, enabling qualified individuals to actively oversee and manage their ventures within Canadian borders.
The concept of a “substantial investment” within the framework of the CUSMA Investor program embodies the notion of placing funds or assets at risk to generate a profitable return. This criterion serves to distinguish bona fide commercial ventures from non-profit organizations, ensuring that only enterprises with a viable profit motive are eligible for program consideration. Furthermore, applicants must substantiate their claim to ownership and control over the invested capital, thereby underscoring their commitment to the enterprise’s success. The nature of the investment, whether it entails the infusion of capital or the acquisition of tangible assets such as equipment, is meticulously evaluated to ascertain compliance with program standards.
In demonstrating their capacity to “develop and direct” the business, CUSMA Investors must exhibit a commanding stake in the company, thereby exerting significant influence over its strategic direction and operational decisions. This requisite underscores the program’s emphasis on fostering genuine entrepreneurial engagement and meaningful participation in the Canadian business ecosystem. Moreover, for those applicants assuming a dual role as employees of the invested company, a clear delineation of their responsibilities is imperative. Such individuals must demonstrate their pivotal role in directing, supervising, and guiding organizational activities, thereby ensuring alignment with the program’s stipulations.
