You are right about it be a great life if you want to live out and be free (almost anyway). No lease can be guaranteed for life. You 'CAN' lose it if you don't take care of it. A lot of Guide Areas have been taken by the govt. because the lease holder didn't take care of it. The most serious is overshooting and violations of the wildlife laws. If you lose your Guide License you cannot hold the territory any longer. If you cannot sell it or make arrangements for another person to take it over you are out of luck.

You also must be a Canadian citizen to hold a Guide license. A lot of non-Canadians own territories or large parts of them. They must have a Canadian hold the Guide licese though. If he leaves, or dies or you fire him you can be out of luck also.

The best way is to have a partner who has a big enough stake in the business to be a part of the operation and to love what he is doing.

You can get Landed Immigrant Status in Canada for an investment of, I believe, $500,000 Can. This allows you resident status and allows you to become a Canadian citizen if you want. A relative who is a Canadian 'can' also get you in.
