The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), and CanAm Enterprises, LLC, are pleased to introduce the Pennsylvania Regional Center, which offers investment opportunities pursuant to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) EB-5 Investor Visa Program.
Based on a reputation of credibility and trust, the Pennsylvania Regional Center is fully committed to providing comprehensive services to our clients. We see each immigrant investor through the complete immigration process - from the selection of an investment project for the initial application to receiving a permanent green card.
Advantages
There are a number of advantages in applying for a U.S. Immigrant Investor EB-5 visa through the Pennsylvania Regional Center.
Our experience
We have more than 20 years of experience in immigrant investor visa programs, both in the U.S. and abroad including the PIDC Regional Center, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Los Angeles Film Regional Center in Los Angeles County, California and the Hawaii Regional Center with the State Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism (DBEDT). We have a staff with in-depth knowledge of the latest immigration procedures and requirements related to the Program. For our Regional Centers, CanAm has raised more than $625 million for projects totaling $2 billion.
Our relationship with DCED
All of our projects are reviewed and recommended by DCED, the Department of Community and Economic Development for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. DCED also monitors all of our projects for the life of the investment, including job creation.
Our projects
All our projects are with reputable businesses, each with strong financial standing and are committed to creating new jobs in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Our job creation methodology
Our projects are forecasted to create more than enough new, full-time jobs that qualify for the program. Each project is required to provide a detailed job creation forecast based on a business plan specifying its employment needs, which are carefully reviewed and evaluated by DCED prior to their recommendation of the project to us. Throughout the life of the project, these jobs are closely monitored by DCED, using DCED's own job reporting forms and supplemented by the project's employment records.
