What is Business Immigration?
Business Immigration programs allow experienced business people to immigrate to Canada and contribute to the country's economy. These programs are tailored to attract individuals with the skills and resources to create jobs, drive innovation, and support economic development in Canada.
Benefits of Business Immigration
Permanent Residency
Many business immigration programs lead to Canadian permanent residency, allowing you to live, work, and study anywhere in the country.
Opportunities for Growth
Canada offers a stable economy, access to international markets, and a high quality of life, providing excellent opportunities for business growth and success.
Pathway to Citizenship
As a permanent resident, you can eventually apply for Canadian citizenship, gaining access to all the benefits and privileges that come with it.
Types of Business Immigration Programs
-
The Start-Up Visa Program targets innovative entrepreneurs who have the potential to build businesses in Canada that can compete on a global scale. To qualify, you must have a business idea supported by a designated organization, meet language requirements, and have sufficient settlement funds.
-
The Self-Employed Persons Program is for individuals who have relevant experience in cultural or athletic activities and can make significant contributions to these fields in Canada. Applicants must demonstrate their ability to be self-employed in Canada.
-
Many provinces and territories in Canada have their own business immigration streams under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). These streams target entrepreneurs, investors, and self-employed individuals who wish to start or invest in a business in a specific province. Each PNP has its own criteria and application process.
-
Quebec has its own Entrepreneur Program, which targets individuals who wish to create or acquire a business in Quebec. The program requires a detailed business plan and significant investment.

Although the federal Immigrant Investor Program is currently closed, several provinces offer investor immigration streams under their PNPs. These programs typically require a substantial financial investment in a new or existing business and may include job creation requirements.
