Ford government relaunches immigrant investor program.

TORONTO — Ontario plans to accept 100 immigrants in the next two years under a program which will allow foreign entrepreneurs to apply for immigration to the province after investing a minimum of $200,000 in its economy.

Labour Minister Monte McNaughton says the Canadian Government will focus on attracting international entrepreneurs to Ontario communities outside the Greater Toronto Area. These entrepreneurs will be nominated for immigration under the province’s economic immigration program after they start a new business or purchase an existing one in Ontario.
