Citizenship by Investment in Rosedale
Citizenship by investment in Rosedale: a discreet advisory helping established families secure a second citizenship that passes to their children. Book a call.
Rosedale is old Toronto in the best sense — a historic, leafy enclave of multi-generational families who think in decades, not quarters. If you are weighing citizenship by investment in Rosedale, Fast Passport Boutique by Jane Katkova is a CICC-licensed advisory that shares that long view. We help established families secure a second citizenship that does more than open borders for you: it becomes a durable asset for your children and the generation after them. We work discreetly and, where you prefer, entirely remotely, from our Toronto office at 1110 Finch Ave West, Unit 406.
Citizenship by investment in Rosedale, with the next generation in mind
The families who call us from Rosedale rarely lead with their own travel. Their real question is what a second citizenship means for their children and grandchildren — where the next generation can study, work and settle, and how to keep options open as the world changes. It is estate thinking applied to mobility: a considered decision made now so that the people who come after inherit freedom of movement alongside everything else. As a licensed, regulated advisory bound by a professional code of conduct, we bring the same seriousness to it that your family lawyer and accountant bring to the rest of the plan.
A second citizenship that passes to your children
This is the heart of the matter for a multi-generational family, and it is worth being precise about. When you obtain Caribbean citizenship by investment, you can include your spouse and dependent children in the same application, so the immediate family gains status together. Beyond that, citizenship generally passes by descent: children born to a citizen can typically claim citizenship themselves, in the same way as any other citizen's children, which means a single decision today can benefit generations without a fresh application each time. This is exactly why family citizenship by investment is the framing that fits Rosedale — you are not buying a travel document, you are establishing a lasting set of options for your line. Each programme sets its own rules on who qualifies and how descent works, so we confirm the details for your family before you proceed. Our note on citizenship by descent explains the principle in more depth.
Who you can include in one application
Most Caribbean programmes are generous about dependants, which is what makes them suited to families planning across generations. The table below is a general guide; eligibility and age limits vary by programme and change over time.
| Who | Typically eligible? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Main applicant | Yes | The qualifying investor |
| Spouse | Yes | Included in the family application |
| Dependent children | Yes | Age limits vary; some programmes include older dependent students |
| Parents / grandparents | Often | Usually above a set age; conditions apply |
| Future generations | By descent | Children born to a citizen can typically claim citizenship |
Figures and rules are indicative, not quotes; programme terms and thresholds change, so we confirm the current position for your family on a call. For the full menu, see our Caribbean citizenship programmes hub and the broader citizenship by investment overview.
Part of a considered estate and succession plan
For a Rosedale family, a second citizenship is one moving part in a larger machine of wills, trusts, cross-border assets and long-term planning. We are comfortable operating in that context: coordinating quietly with your existing lawyers and accountants, handling complex source-of-funds documentation with discretion, and making sure the citizenship piece is clean, well-evidenced and durable. This is general information, not legal or tax advice, and we work with your own professionals on the formal structuring. One honest caveat belongs in every such conversation: not all countries permit dual citizenship, so if any family member holds a nationality that restricts it, we review that carefully before anything is filed.
Getting the documentation right the first time
Multi-generational wealth is rarely simple on paper. Assets may sit in trusts or holding companies, some of it inherited over decades, and any citizenship application will ask you to evidence where the invested funds come from. This source-of-funds file is the single most important factor in a smooth approval, and it is where families with complex holdings most often benefit from experienced help. We prepare it carefully and discreetly, work with your accountants and lawyers to assemble clean, consistent documentation, and anticipate the questions a due-diligence team will ask before they ask them. Done properly at the outset, it turns what many families fear will be an intrusive exercise into a straightforward one, and it protects your privacy throughout. It is painstaking work, and it is precisely the part a licensed advisor should carry for you.
The programmes, and the honest facts
Caribbean citizenship is the natural fit for a family focused on inheritance and mobility: a donation from roughly US$200,000 leads to a full second passport, realistically in around five months for the fastest programme (St Kitts and Nevis) and longer for others, each now requiring an in-person interview and biometrics. A second passport from the Caribbean carries visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to roughly 140 to 150 destinations, including the UK and the Schengen Area. European residency routes exist too, but they lead to citizenship only after many years, which is why families prioritising a heritable citizenship usually start in the Caribbean.
If you are thinking about the generations that follow, the right first step is an unhurried, confidential conversation. Check your eligibility or book a free, confidential consultation with our licensed team, and we will confirm today's figures, explain exactly how a citizenship would pass to your children, and give you an honest recommendation.

Citizenship by Investment in Rosedale — your questions answered
Can a second citizenship pass to my children and grandchildren?
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 without a fresh investment. Each programme sets its own rules, so we confirm exactly how descent would work for your family.
Who can I include in a single application?
Most Caribbean programmes allow the main applicant, a spouse and dependent children, and often parents or grandparents above a set age. Age limits and conditions vary by programme and change over time, so we map out precisely who qualifies for your family before you proceed.
Is Caribbean or European citizenship better for a legacy-focused family?
For families prioritising a heritable citizenship and fast mobility, the Caribbean is usually the natural starting point: a full passport in months that passes to children by descent. European routes grant residency first and citizenship only after many years, so they suit a different, longer-term objective. We weigh both against your goals.
How do you handle privacy and work with our existing advisors?
Discreetly and collaboratively. Every engagement is confidential, and we coordinate quietly with your family's lawyers and accountants so the citizenship piece fits cleanly into your wider estate and succession planning. Complex source-of-funds documentation is handled with the care it deserves.
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 longer for other 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 long-term goals, explain how a second citizenship would pass to the next generation, and give you an honest 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.
