No. Explain actual ownership, lawful transactions, path and commitment.

A business balance is not automatically personal investment. Use genuine records rather than merging corporate and individual funds.
Ownership of at least fifty percent by treaty nationals is required and the applicant's sixty percent meets it, provided the shares are held personally or through an entity that is itself Canadian-owned. E-2 requires treaty nationality, a real operating enterprise, capital committed in a way that is irrevocable and commercially exposed to loss, a non-marginal business, and the applicant’s ability to develop and direct it. Gather passports establishing the investor’s treaty citizenship, a complete ownership ledger showing at least 50 percent treaty-national ownership, and the agreements demonstrating development-and-direction control. Substantiality is assessed in relation to the cost of the particular business, and nationality, the investor's control, and the enterprise's own qualifying characteristics still need to be established separately. A spouse or partner who holds Canadian permanent residence rather than citizenship does not contribute treaty nationality, and their shares count on the wrong side of the calculation.
