Yes, the actual qualifying amount must be established; a quotation in another currency is not a substitute for that calculation.
Reconcile what arrived and what qualifies
Separate bank fees, exchange differences, administrative expenses and invested capital. Confirm the applicable petition-date threshold, including the scheduled adjustment beginning January 1, 2027. Retain transaction records instead of assuming that the amount initially sent necessarily equals the qualifying investment received.
Beyond the capital itself, expect legal fees for the immigration filings, accounting or forensic work to assemble the source-of-funds record, translation of foreign documents, and the enterprise's own transaction and formation costs. The years that follow the investment carry their own costs: the removal-of-conditions filing, continuing professional advice, monitoring the project, and the effect of leaving substantial capital committed and at risk for the whole conditional period. Accountants may be needed to reconcile years of filings; translators for foreign-language records; and independent commercial advisers for diligence on the project, which is an expense worth incurring rather than avoiding. Professional costs can include a licensed U.S. immigration attorney, a Canadian lawyer to retrieve land registry or estate records where needed, and an accountant to reconcile tax returns with the movement of money.
