 I believe there's investment provisions to obtain Legal Permanent Residence for Canada, USA and Australia.  IIRC, in the USA, you have to invest approximately $1,000,000, employ 10 US workers, and continue to do so for something like 5 years, with revocation of your greencard should you fail to meet requirements a couple of years down the road.
Something like that.  
It's been criticized as 'paying for citizenship' so, I believe that's what you're referring to.
