How can American investors operate a business in Canada and also gain residency?

I run my own company in the US and I'm now interested in opening a franchise in Canada. Since this would require frequent travel between the two destinations, I would like to also gain long term residency in Canada. What are my options?

    It would depend on the type of franchise and the part of Canada where you intend to open such a franchise. There can be many ways to get long term residency in Canada, and most likely you would be starting with a work permit, leading towards PR and eventually citizenship.
