Hello All,

We have what we hope are three simple questions about real estate and the resident visa. If someone could answer each one with a 'yes' or a 'no' then that would be great.

1) If I buy a house or condo for more than $25,000 USD which I live in, does that entitle me to a resident visa?
2) If my partner (we are common-law) lives with me can she get a dependant visa?
3) If she also puts in $25,000 USD then does she also get a resident visa of her own?

Thanks
Cheryn and Bruce

Hello

Yes, you can apply for a 9-II visa Foreing investor. I don't know for sure is the minimun amount is $25.000 what we can find out. You should ask for the visa at least 30 days before your tourist visa expires.

You can claim you partner as dependant or she can get is own visa if she has the amount required and invest it on real state or CD's.
