From Petit-Saguenay, does including my spouse make all family income tax-exempt under Gold Card?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Family inclusion does not create a blanket tax exemption.

Review each person’s real situation

Each eligible included spouse or child has the published additional US$1 million gift and US$15,000 nonrefundable processing requirement, including corporate cases. Those payments do not answer the family’s tax questions or replace individual eligibility and status review.

Review every family member separately for immigration eligibility, age, admissibility, and tax circumstances. Inclusion does not pool income into a general exemption, and each person’s residence, assets, and earnings may produce different advice. Published sequencing puts each online application and its nonrefundable US$15,000 DHS processing fee first. USCIS later asks for Form I-140G, named “Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program.” Vetting occurs before the United States requests the US$1 million gift; budget current published additions for included relatives. Gold Card proceeds through EB-1 or EB-2 classification, not EB-5, and money alone cannot establish eligibility. Reconfirm directions before funds move, particularly when a child’s age may affect inclusion.

Hypothetical example: A dentist living near Petit-Saguenay considers including a spouse with foreign rental income and a university-age child. The family compiles civil records, passports, residence histories, ownership statements, and income summaries. Advisers examine the child’s age and each person’s position instead of assuming the principal’s filing settles everything. The spouse’s rental income is not labelled tax-free merely because a family gift may be required, and the household does not transfer a combined amount until vetting is complete and the official request is verified.
