Government filing charges published in the fee schedule, project administration or subscription costs, professional fees for source-of-funds work, and the ordinary costs of a long relocation.
The investment is not the whole outlay
Filing charges for the petitions in this process are published in the fee schedule and should be confirmed when each stage is reached. Where an investment is made through a pooled project, administrative or subscription charges are separate from the qualifying capital and are set by the project, not by the government.
The professional work is substantial: source-of-funds documentation for a family with decades of agricultural history is a long engagement, and the later stage requires evidence that the investment was sustained and the jobs created. Households should also plan for the ordinary costs of moving and of maintaining Canadian obligations during a process that spans years rather than months.
