As of September 7, 2026, the capital figures are US$1,050,000 or US$800,000 for qualifying targeted employment area or infrastructure projects. Statutory adjustments begin January 1, 2027; confirm the amount applicable to the filing.

Use the relevant petition filing date for applicable thresholds and scheduled adjustment. Explain money transferred, its purpose and lawful source rather than relying solely on the project’s quoted package.
Review the genuine agreements and commercial remedies alongside the immigration capital rules: contractual investor repayment rights and guaranteed rates of return are excluded from qualifying EB-5 capital. Professional costs can include a licensed U.S. immigration attorney, a Canadian lawyer to retrieve land registry or estate records where needed, and an accountant to reconcile tax returns with the movement of money. Financial diligence on the project, an independent review of the offering documents and cross-border tax advice are separate and should be obtained before the wire, since the immigration approval offers no protection for the capital itself.
