"Self-Made Millionaires, Immigrant Millionaires Common In Canada, BMO Study Finds"

[Nay]

1. Wellll.....they don't discuss it in the article, but one of the classes of immigrant is the "start

a business in Canada" immigrant. If you, the prospective immigrant, have a CA$1,600,000 net worth AND will invest CA$800,000 in your own business venture in Canada, you can immigrate. (This program, as noted on the CIC website, has been suspended for a while because of too many applicants.)

In the article, there's no mention of how many of these already-rich people immigrated to Canada under the business rules, but you're already a millionaire under those rules. There's no way to tell from the article whether these ppl already had the money or made it all in Canada.

Not sayin' Canada ain't great -- I'd be living there myself if Sonny Nay could be talked into moving, too....
