The EB-5 program allows foreign nationals to obtain permanent resident status in the United States through a qualifying investment. This pathway extends to immediate family members, including a spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21.<\/p>\n
To qualify for the EB-5 green card in Winnipeg, MB, applicants generally invest $800,000 USD into a project connected to a government-authorized Regional Center, often tied to large-scale commercial or real estate developments.<\/p>\n
After the investment is made and the required petition is filed, applicants and their families may receive conditional green cards within approximately 2\u20133 years (or more).<\/p>\n
Two years after conditional residence is granted, applicants must demonstrate that the investment met job creation or economic impact requirements in order to secure permanent green cards.<\/p>\n

The EB-5 visa is an investment-based immigration option that provides a direct route to U.S. permanent residence without requiring employer sponsorship.<\/p>\n
For individuals considering business immigration<\/a>, it offers a way to enter the U.S. market while working toward long-term residency. At the same time, it functions as an alternative to a traditional employment based green card<\/a>, since eligibility is based on investment rather than employment.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/pilkingtonimmigration.com\/winnipeg-mb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2026\/06\/eb5-visa-markham-img.jpg” alt=”A wealthy man sitting at a desk wearing glasses and learning about the EB-5 Green Card [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”41.5px” custom_padding=”14px|||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_line_height=”2em” ul_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#597184″ header_2_font_size=”45px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”||||||||” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”35px” header_2_font_size_phone=”28px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” text_orientation_tablet=”center” text_orientation_phone=”left” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The process begins when the applicant transfers the required investment funds along with Regional Center administrative fees into the designated account.<\/p>\n Form I-526 must be submitted to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
