Two routes — different structures, not just different prices

Express isn’t simply "more expensive" — it grants permanent status immediately, bypassing the regular route’s temporary phase.

Including dependent supplements.
03
Receiving a 2-year temporary visa (regular route)
Or immediate PR in 60-180 days (express).
04

For transitioning from temporary status to PR.
05
Maintaining the investment for at least 5 years after PR

A good fit if

You have capital from $100,000 for the regular route and are prepared for the 2-year temporary phase before PR.
Or you have $360,000+ and speed matters — permanent residency immediately, no temporary phase.
You’re ready to maintain the investment for at least 5 years after PR and budget maintenance costs for 8 years.
You’re specifically interested in a forestry/conservation asset rather than urban real estate.

A poor fit if

You’re relying on the $80,000 figure from less detailed sources — the more thorough source specifies $100,000 for the regular route.
Your capital is below $100,000 — no lower threshold exists for the regular route.
You’re not prepared to hold the investment for at least 5 years after PR — an early exit could jeopardize status.
You need property for personal residence — this is an investment specifically in a forestry project, not a residential property.
