Overview

For high-net-worth individuals and global families seeking to establish permanent roots in the United States, the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program presents a direct and highly strategic pathway. Designed to stimulate the U.S. economy through foreign investment and job creation, the EB-5 program offers qualified applicants the opportunity to obtain U.S. Green Cards for themselves and eligible family members—through a government-approved investment in the American economy.

At Gallant & Toole Inc., we specialize in delivering comprehensive guidance for investors seeking U.S. residency through the EB-5 program. Our services go far beyond the application process—we offer a fully integrated solution that includes legal counsel, project due diligence, immigration strategy, financial structuring, and cross-border tax planning.

What Is the EB-5 Program?

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), allows foreign nationals to apply for permanent residence (Green Card) by investing in a U.S. commercial enterprise that creates or preserves at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers.

There are two primary investment thresholds:

• $800,000 for investments in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA)—a rural area or an area of high unemployment

• $1,050,000 for investments outside a TEA
  

Applicants may choose to invest directly in a new commercial enterprise or through a USCIS-approved Regional Center, which pools capital for development projects that meet the program’s job creation requirements.

Our Role at Gallant & Toole:

Navigating the EB-5 landscape requires more than capital—it demands strategic insight, legal precision, and meticulous planning. Our team of immigration lawyers, international tax specialists, and investment consultants work hand-in-hand to guide clients through every phase of the process.

From selecting the right project or regional centre to preparing a USCIS-compliant I-526 petition, we ensure that your application is not only complete, but compelling. We conduct deep due diligence on EB-5 projects, ensuring job creation metrics, capital structure, exit strategies, and risk profiles are clearly understood and aligned with your long-term goals.

For direct EB-5 investors, we provide end-to-end business planning, entity structuring, and job creation modelling—all in compliance with U.S. regulations. For regional centre participants, we help you evaluate viable, lower-risk options with a strong history of approval and repayment.

Our legal team also manages the family aspect of the application—ensuring your spouse and dependent children (under 21) are fully included in the application and receive their Green Cards alongside you.

Beyond Immigration: Comprehensive Wealth and Tax Planning:

Relocating to the U.S. has significant implications for global taxation, estate planning, and investment structure. Gallant & Toole integrates your EB-5 strategy with broader wealth and tax considerations, helping you:

• Prepare for U.S. income and estate tax exposure

• Restructure offshore assets or entities in advance of U.S. residency

• Align trusts and inheritances with U.S. reporting standards

• Minimize capital gains through careful timing and asset planning

• Coordinate departure tax and compliance from your current jurisdiction

  
  

This integrated approach ensures that your transition to U.S. residency enhances—not complicates—your financial future.
