Bring the full agreement and relevant financing or management terms, not only the sales presentation. Explain which documents are signed and which remain proposals.
Keep commercial illustrations separate from obligations
Mark the parts of the package that describe binding payments or restrictions. Ask the transaction adviser to explain unclear terms. The immigration review should work from the actual proposed arrangement rather than treating a sample budget as a contract.
Hypothetical example: A Canadian designer is acquiring a small U.S. custom-soap workshop with a partner who will remain a minority owner. The first review creates a document chain from the source account to the signed purchase agreement, escrow receipt, lease, equipment invoices, operating agreement, and projected operations. Bank statements and sale records settle the source and movement of funds; binding contracts settle commitment and risk; governance records settle control. Obtain executed agreements before relying on a marketing budget, and have each payment match the cited account. A familiar mistake is presenting a large available balance, unsigned estimates, and a generic franchise brochure as if they prove investment. They do not show an irrevocable commercial commitment. The file must show treaty ownership, real operations, the investor's direction, and a venture with a credible path beyond merely supporting the investor and family. Keep this E2 documents record aligned with final filing facts and issued source materials, then preserve a dated copy internally before formal submission for future reference and review by responsible staff if questions arise later.
