Citizenship by Investment in Forest Hill
Citizenship by investment in Forest Hill: discreet, CICC-licensed advisory guiding established and new-wealth families to a second citizenship. Book privately.
Forest Hill is one of Toronto's most established addresses, and the families who live here tend to make significant decisions quietly. If you are considering citizenship by investment in Forest Hill, Fast Passport Boutique by Jane Katkova is a CICC-licensed advisory that works the way this neighbourhood prefers: discreetly, thoroughly, and without a sales pitch. We guide both long-established and newer-wealth families through Caribbean citizenship and European residency — in person at our Toronto office at 1110 Finch Ave West, Unit 406, or entirely remotely, whichever you find more convenient.
Citizenship by investment in Forest Hill, handled with discretion
Discretion is not a marketing line for us; it is the baseline. Every enquiry and engagement is confidential from the first conversation, and we are comfortable working alongside the professionals you already trust — your family office, lawyer and accountant — rather than around them. As a licensed member of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), Canada's regulator for the profession, we are accountable, regulated advisors bound by a professional code of conduct, not an anonymous overseas website. For a Forest Hill family, that combination of privacy and licensing is the point: serious counsel, quietly delivered.
An enclave of established and new-wealth families
Forest Hill's residents are a particular mix — multi-generational Toronto business and professional families whose wealth is well settled, alongside international families who have more recently made the neighbourhood home. Both groups share a long time horizon and a preference for privacy, and both increasingly treat a second citizenship as ordinary prudence rather than an indulgence. The motivations we hear are consistent: broader mobility for a family that travels and studies abroad, a discreet plan B against political or economic change, diversification of the jurisdictions the family relies on, and options for the next generation. A second citizenship asks nothing of your life here; it simply widens what is possible for the people who matter most to you.
A discreet, white-glove advisory
We built the practice around how private clients actually want to be served. That means a single point of contact, unhurried conversations that can span several meetings, and a willingness to say plainly when a programme is not right for you. Complex source-of-funds questions — the heart of any serious application — are handled with the care and confidentiality they deserve, and we coordinate quietly with your existing advisors so a second citizenship becomes one clean, well-documented part of a larger plan. There is no pressure to decide quickly; the right structure is worth getting right rather than getting fast.
The programmes we advise on
There is no single best programme, only the best fit for your family's goals. For most Forest Hill clients the conversation weighs a fast Caribbean passport for immediate mobility against a European route for those whose horizon genuinely includes the EU.
| Route | Indicative entry (2026) | What it grants | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caribbean citizenship (e.g., Grenada, St Kitts) | Donation from ~US$200,000 | A full second passport within months | Speed, mobility and a plan B, with no relocation |
| Portugal Golden Visa | Qualifying funds from €500,000 (cultural from ~€250,000) | EU residency now; citizenship possible after 10 years | Families whose long-term horizon includes Europe |
| Greece Golden Visa | Property from €250,000–€800,000 by area | Schengen residency with no minimum stay | A low-effort European foothold |
Figures are indicative, not quotes, and exclude government, due-diligence and professional fees that scale with family size. Program terms and thresholds change; we confirm the current numbers for your situation on a call.

Legacy and the next generation
For established families, the most compelling argument for a second passport is rarely their own travel — it is what it means for their children and grandchildren. Most programmes allow you to include a spouse and dependent children, and often parents, in a single application, so family citizenship by investment secures options for everyone at once. A Caribbean citizenship also passes down: children born to a citizen can typically claim citizenship by descent, in the same way as any other citizen's children, which turns a single decision today into a durable family asset. A second passport becomes part of the legacy you pass on, alongside everything else you have built.
The programme facts, honestly
Caribbean donation routes begin at roughly US$200,000 and, in 2026, realistically take from around five months (St Kitts and Nevis) to a year or more for the slower programmes; every one now requires an in-person interview and biometrics, so be sceptical of anyone promising a passport in weeks. European residency costs more and leads to citizenship only after years of genuine residence. One honest caveat: not every country permits dual citizenship, so if you hold a nationality that restricts it, that position needs careful review before you proceed. This is general information, not legal or tax advice, and we work with your own counsel on the formal questions. You can learn more about the practice on our about page.
If a second citizenship belongs in your family's plans, the right first step is a quiet, candid conversation rather than a brochure. Check your eligibility or book a free, confidential consultation with our licensed team, and we will confirm today's figures, weigh the options against your goals, and give you an honest, discreet recommendation.

Citizenship by Investment in Forest Hill — your questions answered
Can I meet you in person, or is everything handled remotely?
Both. You are welcome to meet us at our Toronto office at 1110 Finch Ave West, Unit 406, a short drive from Forest Hill, or we can handle the entire engagement by video, phone and secure document exchange. Many private clients prefer the remote option for convenience and privacy.
How do you protect our confidentiality?
Confidentiality is our baseline. Every enquiry and engagement is private from the first conversation, and we coordinate discreetly with your existing family office, lawyer and accountant. As a licensed CICC advisory we are bound by a professional code of conduct, which is a meaningful safeguard an overseas website cannot offer.
Should an established Forest Hill family choose Caribbean or European programmes?
It depends on the goal. A Caribbean passport delivers fast, no-relocation mobility from around US$200,000; a European golden visa such as Portugal costs more and grants residency first, with citizenship possible only after ten years. Many families ask us to weigh both side by side, which we do in a consultation.
Can a second citizenship pass to my children?
Generally, yes. You can include a spouse and dependent children in the application, and Caribbean citizenship typically passes by descent, so children born to a citizen can usually claim it themselves. Each programme sets its own rules, so we confirm exactly how it would work for your family before you proceed.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
As a guide, Caribbean donation routes start from approximately US$200,000 plus government, due-diligence and professional fees, and realistically take from around five months for St Kitts and Nevis to a year or more for slower programmes. Figures are indicative and thresholds change, so we confirm current numbers on a call.
Is the first consultation free and confidential?
Yes. Your first consultation is free and entirely confidential. We use it to understand your family's goals, explain the realistic routes and timelines, and give you an honest, discreet assessment, with no obligation to proceed.
A Toronto business-owner family, a second passport in about five months
A GTA-based entrepreneur came to us with a familiar problem: a strong business, frequent international travel, and a passport that made every trip an exercise in visa paperwork. The family wanted broader travel freedom, a credible plan B for their two children, and — importantly — a legitimate route toward doing business in the United States. We mapped their goals against the leading Caribbean programmes and recommended Grenada, the only Caribbean citizenship that opens the door to the US E-2 investor visa. We handled the source-of-funds file, due-diligence preparation and the full application. Citizenship was approved in roughly five months, the family kept their Canadian lives entirely intact, and they now travel visa-free to more than 140 destinations.
