Business immigration is designed to attract individuals with the skills, resources, and ambition to contribute to Canada’s economy. There are multiple avenues for business immigration, including the Start-Up Visa Program, Self-Employed Persons Program, and Investor Programs. Each program has unique eligibility requirements, and it is crucial to select the right one based on your business experience, investment capacity, and long-term goals.

1. 1. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) for Business
      Each province and territory in Canada offers specific immigration pathways under the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) for entrepreneurs and business owners. These programs allow provinces to select individuals who can contribute to their economic development. Some provinces focus on start-up businesses, while others cater to investors willing to invest a substantial amount into local economies. We assist our clients in determining the right province based on their business goals and help them apply through the respective PNP.

1. 1. Federal Start-Up Visa Program
      The Start-Up Visa Program is aimed at innovative entrepreneurs who can create jobs for Canadians and compete on a global scale. This program requires applicants to have a viable business idea, secure funding from a designated Canadian venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator, and meet certain language and financial requirements. Our team helps clients evaluate their business plans, connect with Canadian investors, and fulfill all requirements for a successful application.

1. 1. Self-Employed Persons Program
      The Self-Employed Persons Program is designed for individuals who have experience in cultural activities, athletics, or farming and are capable of making a significant contribution to the cultural or athletic life of Canada. We guide our clients through the application process, ensuring that they provide compelling evidence of their experience and contributions.

1. Investor Programs
   Some provinces, like Quebec, offer investor programs for individuals willing to make a substantial financial investment in the province’s economy. These programs have specific financial requirements and require applicants to demonstrate their net worth and management experience. We provide step-by-step guidance to investors to ensure they meet all the eligibility criteria and have all the necessary documentation.
