Background
Mr Ma, from Hong Kong, applied with his wife. He wanted to move to Canada with a relatively low investment threshold.
Main concern
The investment threshold was modest, but he wasn’t clear on the job-creation requirement.
Our approach
We reminded him that at least one full-time job must be created, and planned the hire early.
Process and outcome
He met the requirements and was nominated by the province in about 24 months.
Adviser’s comment
Lower-threshold programmes still have operating requirements; preparing early makes nomination smoother.
