We offer personalized services to help clients access the right programs based on their business goals and immigration needs. Canada offers a variety of federal and provincial business immigration programs that provide pathways to permanent residency for individuals who can contribute to the Canadian economy.
Federal Business Immigration Programs
Canada’s federal business immigration programs provide pathways for entrepreneurs, investors, and self-employed individuals who wish to start or invest in businesses in Canada. These programs are designed to attract individuals with the experience, skills, and capital to contribute to the Canadian economy.
Start-Up Visa Program
The Start-Up Visa Program is designed for entrepreneurs who have a viable business idea and wish to start a business in Canada. To qualify, entrepreneurs must:
- Secure a letter of support from a designated Canadian venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator.
- Have a business that is innovative, scalable, and has the potential to create jobs for Canadians.
- Meet language and financial requirements.
Our team helps entrepreneurs prepare and submit their applications, ensuring that all documentation is complete and that the business idea meets the program’s criteria.
Self-Employed Persons Program
The Self-Employed Persons Program is designed for individuals with relevant experience in cultural or athletic activities or farm management. This program allows individuals to immigrate to Canada based on their ability to be self-employed and contribute to Canadian society.
- Applicants must demonstrate significant experience in their field and the ability to support themselves and their family while contributing to the cultural or sporting life of Canada.
We provide guidance to help applicants understand the program’s requirements and assist in preparing the necessary documentation.
Federal Entrepreneur Program
Although not an active program at present, past initiatives under the Federal Entrepreneur Program allowed individuals with significant business experience and capital to move to Canada to establish or manage a business. If the program reopens, our team will be ready to assist entrepreneurs in taking advantage of this opportunity.
Provincial Business Immigration Programs
Each province in Canada has its own unique business immigration program that targets specific economic needs and development priorities. Provincial programs provide additional opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors to establish businesses in Canada.
