Business Immigration
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.
Individuals with business/managerial experience and relatively high net-worth may apply for a Canadian permanent residence under the Canada Business Immigration Program in one of the following four sub-categories:
Self-Employed Program
This program is for people who are capable of creating their own employment, by contributing athletically, culturally or artistically to Canada’s employment market. People with sufficient funds and relevant work experience can apply for the Self-employed Program.
Start-up Visa
Start-up Visa candidates may apply if they have a qualifying innovative business that will help grow the Canadian economy as well as create jobs in Canada. Successful applicants will get permanent residence for both them and their families.
Business Visitor Visa
This visa is for business individuals who intend to stay temporarily in Canada in order to engage in international business markets by growing, investing or creating business connections. The Business Visitor Visa is for potential candidates who, among other requirements, do not intend to impact directly on the Canadian job market.
PNP Entrepreneur Visa
Entrepreneur programs like the New Brunswick Entrepreneurial Stream give immigrants the opportunity to take advantage of Canada’s growing economic power, and possibly gain permanent residence in Canada, along with their family.
Investor Visa
Depending on which Investor Visa candidates apply for they may stand the chance to gain permanent residence for both themselves and their families by investing in Canada’s economy.
