Canada Visa-Free Access

Canada Visa-Free Passport

Canada’s passport stands as one of the most powerful globally, granting visa-free access to 197 countries and territories, encompassing an impressive 86.8% of worldwide destinations. This figure represents 79.7% of the world’s wealth measured by GDP and 92.2% of worldwide travel popularity based on international visitors.

However, this measure simplifies by counting all destinations equally. At La Vida, our unique GDP and Travel Popularity measures go beyond, considering the “quality” of these destinations. This nuanced approach ensures not all countries are weighted equally, providing you with an intelligent assessment of the true value your investment brings in terms of visa-free access.

 

Canada Second Passport

The combination of a second passport with your existing passport is often overlooked when deciding on an investor visa programme. Your existing passport already provides a list of visa-free travel destinations. When obtaining a second passport, it’s crucial to ensure that the added benefits complement your current travel privileges. Simply “doubling up” with the same visa-free destinations offers no tangible advantage. La Vida’s Passport Investment Report goes beyond a mere count of destinations; it analyses your unique combination, identifying the passport that best aligns with your travel profile and existing passport. Whether GDP holds significance for your frequent business travels or Travel Popularity is crucial for leisure and vacations, our report caters to your specific needs. This invaluable service, accompanied by a detailed analysis, is offered exclusively by La Vida at no cost to our clients.

 

Canada’s Passport Investment

Canada does not offer a direct Citizenship by Investment programme. Instead, investors can progress to citizenship through business-led residency pathways, such as the Canada Regional Business Immigration (CRBI) programme. Under CRBI, applicants first obtain a Canadian work permit through active business ownership and operation. After meeting the required business performance criteria, applicants may apply for Permanent Residence, and once Permanent Residence has been held for the required period, become eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship. Citizenship eligibility requires physical residence in Canada for at least three years out of a five-year period, alongside standard language and character requirements. Investment levels vary by province, and additional legal and professional fees apply throughout the process.
