SAINT-ALPHONSE-DE-GRANBY · E-2 FIELD GUIDE

How does a buyer from Saint-Alphonse-de-Granby prove the money is genuinely at risk?

Sources checked:

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Through the deal documents rather than a bank balance. The purchase agreement, the escrow terms and the release conditions are read to see whether the capital can return to him for ordinary commercial reasons. Funds held subject to a refund if a permit or a licence fails to transfer are not irrevocably committed.

A reviewer reads the release clause before the balance

Hypothetical example: Rachid's purchase money sits in escrow, returnable to him if a state linen permit cannot be transferred in time. The proof of risk lies in the conditions attached to the money, so the escrow instrument matters more than the transfer confirmation. Where an application is pending, an escrow that releases funds to the seller on approval and returns them only if the application is refused is a recognized structure.

That is not Rachid's arrangement. His release condition is the transfer of a state health-facility linen permit, a commercial matter entirely within the seller's control, which means his money remains recoverable for a reason unconnected to his status. Two other documents carry weight.

A signed lease or purchase of premises, equipment orders and staff arrangements show that the funds are not merely earmarked. And a complete trail from the origin of the capital through every account into the business account supports both the risk finding and the lawfulness of the source, which is examined here as well even though it is more prominent in the immigrant investor route.
