No. Compensation does not remove worker eligibility or other job requirements. Capital and employment conditions need their own evidence. As of September 7, 2026, the capital figures are US$1,050,000 or US$800,000 for qualifying targeted employment area or infrastructure projects. Statutory adjustments begin January 1, 2027; confirm the amount applicable to the filing.
Keep financial measures distinct
A payroll budget does not replace the applicable investment amount, lawful source or job framework. Separate actual fees from qualifying capital.
Government fees for the investor petition, the immigrant visa or adjustment stage and the later removal-of-conditions petition, all in the USCIS fee schedule, plus professional fees for source-of-funds work, project due diligence and Canadian tax advice on the corporate payout. The petition to remove conditions is a substantive filing with its own government fee on the current schedule and its own evidentiary burden, and where a project's performance is disputed it can require economic analysis and legal work well beyond the initial process. Produce a payment schedule separating qualifying invested capital, project administration, legal or advisory bills, government filing charges, currency costs, and personal reserves.
