Government filing fees per the published USCIS schedule, any project administrative fee where a regional centre is used, professional fees for source-of-funds work, and translation.
Ask which amounts are recoverable and which are consumed
The distinction that matters is between money placed at risk in the enterprise and money spent to participate. A regional centre project typically charges an administrative fee that is not part of the invested capital and is generally not returned. Government fees arise at several stages and should be checked against the published USCIS fee schedule rather than recalled. Professional fees for assembling source-of-funds evidence are often the largest advisory item, and a file involving a long-held registered plan and an estate distribution is at the heavier end of that range. Translation of French-language tax, succession and banking records adds further. Ask for this breakdown in writing before subscribing.
Separate the qualifying capital from administrative fees, project charges, legal costs, and personal relocation money. The review should show what amount is invested under the governing terms and what amount is paid for another purpose. Do not assume that a large wire proves compliance; the agreement’s allocation and the project’s use of funds matter. Hypothetical example: a greenhouse operator wires a combined sum covering capital and an administrative charge; the subscription statement must identify which portion is invested at commercial risk.
Ask the project issuer for a written allocation when a wire includes several components, then keep the wire confirmation with the governing subscription terms.
