Fast Passport Boutique by Jane Katkova is a licensed CICC advisory in the heart of Toronto, helping successful families turn a strong balance sheet into genuine global mobility. If you have been searching for citizenship by investment in Toronto, you have found a local, regulated team rather than an anonymous overseas website: our office sits at 1110 Finch Ave West, Unit 406, and we guide clients across the Greater Toronto Area through Caribbean citizenship and European residency programmes, end to end and in complete confidence.
Why Toronto's wealth holders look beyond a single passport
Toronto is Canada's financial capital and its largest city — a genuine global business hub where wealth is built on Bay Street finance, a fast-growing technology sector, real estate, and professional services. The people who come to us reflect that mix: fund managers and bankers, technology founders, property developers, physicians and senior professionals, and the owners of family businesses that trade across borders. What they share is a practical realisation — that holding a single citizenship concentrates both risk and friction. A second passport is not a trophy; it is diversification applied to mobility, the same discipline these clients already bring to a portfolio.
For most, the motivation is some combination of travel freedom for business, a credible plan B if conditions shift, easier movement for children studying abroad, and a second base for banking and long-term planning. None of it requires leaving Toronto. A second citizenship simply adds a layer of optionality on top of the life you have already built here.
Citizenship by investment in Toronto: the routes that fit HNW families
There is no single best programme, only the one that fits your travel map, budget, family and timeline. Broadly, serious enquiries come down to three categories, and we help you compare them honestly — including when the right answer is that none of them are for you.
| Route | Indicative entry (2026) | Realistic timeline | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caribbean citizenship (donation) | From ~US$200,000 (Dominica); ~US$235,000 Grenada; ~US$250,000 St Kitts & Nevis | ~5 months for the fastest programmes, longer for others | Speed and mobility, with no relocation |
| Caribbean citizenship (real estate) | ~US$270,000–US$325,000+, plus a mandatory hold period | Comparable to the donation route, with resale later | Investors who want a recoverable asset |
| European residency / golden visa | Portugal funds from €500,000; Greece property from €250,000–€800,000 | Residency in months; citizenship only after 7–10 years | Families who want to live or study in the EU |
The Caribbean citizenship-by-investment route is the quickest way to a full second passport and asks nothing more than a qualifying contribution, with no residence requirement. European golden-visa options cost more and take longer, but they grant the right to live, work and study in the EU. Program terms and thresholds change; we confirm the current figures for your situation on a call, and treat every number here as indicative rather than a quote.
A licensed, local advisory and a true GTA service hub
This is a regulated field, and it should be. Fast Passport Boutique is a licensed member of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), Canada's national regulator for the profession. That means you are dealing with an accountable advisor bound by a professional code of conduct and a duty of confidentiality — not an unlicensed broker. Our Finch Avenue West office serves the whole region, and we work with families right across it, including in North York, Scarborough and Vaughan. You are welcome to meet us in person or to complete the entire process securely online.
What a second citizenship actually solves
Toronto clients rarely want a passport for its own sake; they want the specific problems it removes. Frequent business travellers want to stop planning trips around consulate calendars. Founders and executives want a fallback that protects the whole household, not just one traveller. Parents want their children to hold options for university and work in more than one region. And families with wealth concentrated in Canadian dollars and Canadian assets want a measure of geographic diversification. Because most programmes are built around the family, a single application can usually cover a spouse and dependent children, and several extend to parents — our note on family citizenship by investment explains how households are structured.
How citizenship by investment works from Toronto
We handle the file end to end and privately. It begins with an honest first assessment of your goals and travel patterns, followed by a shortlist of programmes that genuinely fit. From there we prepare a clean source-of-funds file — the single most important factor in a smooth application — and manage the government submission, due diligence and investment completion on your behalf. Since 2023–24 all five Caribbean programmes require an interview and biometrics, which we help you prepare for; you do not, however, need to visit the Caribbean, and in most programmes there is no residence requirement at all. This is general information, not legal or tax advice, and we coordinate with your own accountant or lawyer for formal opinions.
Dual citizenship: check your home-country rules first
Canada permits dual and multiple citizenship, so acquiring a Caribbean or European nationality generally does not disturb your Canadian status. The question that matters is the reverse: whether the country you already hold allows you to keep it. Some do not — India, for instance, does not recognise dual citizenship at all, and Pakistan's list of permitted countries excludes every Caribbean CBI state — so we confirm your specific position, and point you to qualified counsel, before anything is filed.
If a second citizenship or European residency is on your mind, start with a conversation about your goals rather than a country. You can check your eligibility in a few minutes, or book a free, confidential consultation with our licensed team. We are at 1110 Finch Ave West, Unit 406, Toronto, and reachable on +1 (416) 661-4487 — and we will give you an honest assessment, with no obligation.
Citizenship by Investment in Toronto — your questions answered
Do you have an office in Toronto?
Yes. Fast Passport Boutique by Jane Katkova is a licensed CICC advisory based at 1110 Finch Ave West, Unit 406, in Toronto (North York), and we work with families right across the Greater Toronto Area. You are welcome to meet us in person, or we can handle the entire process securely by video and email.
Who typically uses citizenship by investment in Toronto?
Our Toronto clients are usually business owners, finance and technology professionals, property developers and senior professionals who already travel internationally and want greater mobility plus a credible plan B. Most want to protect the whole family, so we plan the application around a spouse, children and sometimes parents.
Do I have to travel to the Caribbean to get a second passport?
No. Caribbean citizenship programmes have no residence requirement, and the paperwork is handled remotely from Toronto. Since 2023-24 all five programmes require an interview and biometrics, which we help you arrange and prepare for, but there is no need to relocate or live abroad.
How much does citizenship by investment cost?
As a guide, Caribbean donation routes start from approximately US$200,000, and approved real-estate routes generally begin around US$270,000 to US$325,000 or more, plus government, due-diligence and professional fees that scale with family size. European golden visas are priced differently again. Thresholds change, so we confirm exact current figures on a call.
Does Canada allow dual citizenship?
Yes, Canada permits dual and multiple citizenship, so becoming a citizen elsewhere generally does not affect your Canadian status. The important question is whether the country you already hold allows you to keep it, because some do not, so we check your specific position before anything is filed.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. Your first consultation is free and completely confidential. We use it to understand your goals, explain the realistic routes and timelines, confirm today's figures, 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.
