Investor Visa: Immigrating to Canada through a Business Immigration Program

How to obtain permanent residence in Canada to a resident of the CIS through investing? For a long time Canada has been among the world leaders in attracting immigrant investors. And now immigration to Canada through investment is one of the most popular ways of business immigration.
