Question 1

Can Canadians get an E-2 visa?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Canada has a treaty with the United States that allows Canadian citizens to apply for the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa. Canadians can invest in a U.S. business or real estate operation and obtain an E-2 visa to live and work in the United States. SBL Capital Management specializes in helping Canadian entrepreneurs structure qualifying E-2 investments in Florida.

Question 2

How much money do I need for an E-2 visa from Canada?

Accepted Answer

There is no fixed minimum investment amount for the E-2 visa, but the investment must be 'substantial' relative to the total cost of the business. Most successful E-2 applications from Canada involve investments of $100,000 or more. SBL Capital Management helps Canadian entrepreneurs structure qualifying investments in Florida real estate and business operations.

Question 3

What is the best state for E-2 visa investment from Canada?

Accepted Answer

Florida is the #1 destination for Canadian E-2 visa investors. Florida has zero state income tax, a booming real estate market with 8-12% annual appreciation, a pro-business environment, and a world-class lifestyle. SBL Capital Management focuses exclusively on Florida E-2 visa investment opportunities for Canadian entrepreneurs.

Question 4

Can Canadians invest passively in US real estate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Canadians can invest passively in U.S. real estate without needing a visa. SBL Capital Management offers passive investment opportunities in Florida real estate for Canadian investors who want hands-off returns without operating a business in the U.S.

Question 5

What is the difference between E-2 and EB-5 visa for Canadians?

Accepted Answer

The E-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows Canadians to live and work in the U.S. by investing in and managing a business. It is renewable indefinitely but does not lead directly to a green card. The EB-5 visa is an immigrant visa that leads to permanent residency (green card) and requires a minimum investment of $800,000 in a targeted employment area or $1,050,000 elsewhere. SBL Capital Management advises on both programs for Canadian entrepreneurs.
