Canada Business Immigration Programs

Our Programs Business Immigration Programs

Canada is one of the most welcoming countries in the world for business owners, entrepreneurs, investors and/or self-employed immigrants seeking new opportunities and challenges.

Incorporating many financial benefits, Canada's Business Immigration Programs are designed to encourage and facilitate the entry of such individuals into the country. Applicants with the ability to set up a business beneficial to the Canadian economy can do so through various Business Immigration Programs. The most notable being:

The Start-Up Visa Program

The Start-Up Visa Program supports immigrant entrepreneurs wishing to launch businesses in Canada by allowing them and their families to apply for permanent resident status. During the waiting period for the PR card, applicants are eligible for a temporary work permit, allowing them to enter Canada and establish their business.

This route is ideal for entrepreneurs who meet four main requirements:

The Self-Employed Persons Program

To qualify for business immigration to Canada under the Self-Employed Program, candidates must prove that they have a minimum experience of two years in the fields of art, culture or athletics. Also, that they can make a reasonably significant contribution to one of these fields through their relevant experience and skills.

Additional selection factors such as language proficiency, education, age and adaptability are also counted towards eligibility for this program.

Although there is no stated minimum net worth requirement, candidates must satisfy the immigration authorities that they have sufficient funds to reside in Canada with their family and finance activities in the field they choose to pursue.

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.

Canada is one of the most dynamic and multicultural countries across the globe. Offering free public healthcare and education to all its citizens and permanent residents, it also has an extremely high quality of living and one of the strongest economies in the world. Canada’s immigration system has over 100 different visas and immigration programs to help you move to Canada in the simplest and quickest way.

Buy or establish a new business in one of the provinces under local business streams (PNPs)
Build and scale an innovative business with the support of a Canadian designated organization (Startup Visa Program - CSUV)
Continue self-employment in cultural activities or athletics in Canada (Self-employed Persons Program - SEPP).
The fourth option is for intra-company transferees/business owners. It generally exists for owners of multinational corporations with a Canadian subsidiary, which they have managed as an intra-company transferee and eventually can gain Canadian permanent residence.

Business immigrants are people who can invest in, or start businesses in Canada and are expected to support the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy. There are two classes of business immigrants: Those who enter with a start-up visa or Self-employed persons

If the investment comes from a designated Canadian venture capital fund, you must secure a minimum investment of $200,000. If the investment comes from a designated Canadian angel investor group, you must secure a minimum investment of $75,000. You don't need to secure a financial investment from a business incubator.
