Residency, Immigration and Investment Services help individuals and families explore suitable pathways for relocating, obtaining residence, or investing abroad based on their nationality, destination, professional profile, financial circumstances, and relocation goals.
TD Global Services assists clients with reviewing their circumstances, identifying programs that may be considered, preparing required documents, and following up on procedures within the agreed scope of service.
Requirements, government fees, eligibility criteria, and processing times vary by country and program. For this reason, the process begins with an assessment of the client's circumstances before a specific pathway is considered.
Residency, Immigration and Investment Services Worldwide
Our Residency, Immigration and Investment Services cover different pathways depending on the destination and the applicant's eligibility.
Potential options may relate to:
- Study and long-term education.
- Employment and professional relocation.
- Family reunification.
- Long-term residence.
- Skilled migration.
- Residence through qualifying investment.
- Certain permanent residence programs.
The availability of a program does not mean every applicant qualifies. Nationality, age, qualifications, professional experience, income, family circumstances, and other eligibility requirements may affect the available options.
Long-Stay Residence and Immigration to Europe
European countries provide different national pathways for stays exceeding 90 days.
Depending on the destination and purpose, these may include study, employment, family reunification, research, professional training, or other qualifying residence categories.
There is no single national long-stay visa with identical requirements across all Schengen countries. Requirements, procedures, fees, and residence conditions are determined by the relevant country and immigration category.
A long-stay visa or residence permit issued by one Schengen country also does not automatically provide unrestricted long-term residence or employment rights throughout the European Union.
Our Residency, Immigration and Investment Services therefore begin by identifying the intended destination and purpose before determining the requirements that may apply.
Immigration and Residency Services for the United States
The United States offers different immigration and non-immigrant pathways depending on the applicant's purpose and eligibility.
Clients may be considering study, qualifying employment, family-based immigration, or certain employment-based immigration categories.
Each route has its own eligibility criteria, application procedures, documentation, and processing stages.
Therefore, TD Global Services reviews the applicant's objectives and circumstances before identifying the pathway that may be considered and the documents required.
Immigration and Residency Services for Canada
Canada offers several pathways related to study, employment, family sponsorship, and permanent residence.
Depending on the applicant's circumstances, options may include:
- Study Permit.
- Work Permit.
- Family Sponsorship.
- Express Entry.
- Other qualifying permanent residence pathways.
Processing times are not identical for every application. They may vary according to the application category, completeness of the file, verification requirements, and other factors.
For this reason, current requirements and processing information should be reviewed according to the specific program when preparing an application.
Immigration and Residency Services for Australia
Australia provides different pathways for international students, skilled professionals, eligible workers, families, and other qualifying applicants.
The appropriate route may depend on factors such as age, occupation, qualifications, professional experience, English-language ability, family circumstances, or sponsorship requirements.
Our Residency, Immigration and Investment Services focus on reviewing these circumstances before a specific pathway is considered.
This helps clients avoid preparing an application for a program that may not match their profile or relocation objectives.
Residency by Investment Programs
Residency, Immigration and Investment Services may also include reviewing qualifying residency-by-investment programs where available and appropriate for the client's circumstances.
Requirements vary considerably between jurisdictions and may involve factors such as:
- Minimum qualifying investment.
- Type of eligible investment.
- Financial resources.
- Source of funds.
- Investment holding periods.
- Eligibility of family members.
- Additional government or administrative requirements.
Residency by investment should not be confused with citizenship by investment. Obtaining residence also does not automatically result in citizenship.
