What we do

An investment immigration practice that builds what it sells.

Eterna International is the source behind the offerings our partners place, working from eight offices across three continents.

We work through the immigration consultants, family offices and private banks that bring us their clients: families pursuing investment-based residency and citizenship. Your client stays your client. We stand behind the offering.

Each application is managed from the office closest to the matter, by people who know the country, the regulator and the law that applies. And it is managed with the diligence of a financial firm: documented, owned by a named individual, accountable.

Lineage

4 generations of careful work.

A legacy of careful financial work, and, for the past two decades, investment immigration practised the same considered way.

The story begins in 1928, when Alphonse Tardif established Corporation de Prêt et Revenu in Quebec City. The firm passed down through the Tardif family, evolving into Trust Prêt et Revenu and, in 1996, into Eterna Financial Group, a fully integrated financial services house with trust, investment management and insurance under one name.

In 2008, Quebec's government designated Trust Eterna as a financial intermediary under the Quebec Immigrant Investor Programme, the foundation of what became a dedicated investment immigration practice. Today that practice operates from eight offices across three continents, built on the fiduciary standard the firm has held for nearly a century.

What we stand for

Three principles, lived daily.

01 /

Client first, through the partner

The client's interest decides every case. We serve that interest through the partner who brought them to us, never around them.

02 /

Integrity

Eterna grew out of a regulated financial house, and works to that standard still: documented decisions, named owners, accountable at every step.

03 /

Partnership

Long relationships over quick transactions. Clear terms, agreed in advance, honoured after the referral, on every programme.

Recognition

We're proud to work with some great partners
