Private guidance for global citizenship, residence and Canadian immigration matters.
Citizenship Options for a More Mobile Future
Citizenship by investment programs allow eligible applicants to seek citizenship after completing a qualifying contribution or investment and passing government due diligence. For the right family, a second citizenship can add meaningful flexibility. It must also be approached with care, full disclosure and a clear understanding of ongoing obligations.
What Citizenship by Investment Can Support
Greater flexibility for international travel, subject to each destination’s current entry rules
A potential alternative place to live or establish longer-term ties
Citizenship planning for eligible spouses, children and other family members
Business, education and lifestyle optionality
A long-term component of family contingency and succession planning
CIPS currently presents citizenship programs in Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia and Türkiye. Each program differs in investment structure, family eligibility, due diligence, fees, timing and physical-presence rules.

Citizenship is never guaranteed. Governments retain full discretion, and a contribution or investment does not replace the need for complete, accurate disclosure. CIPS will not recommend a program solely because it appears inexpensive or fast.
