Business Immigration

What Type of Business Visa Do I Qualify For?

There are several different business-related categories pursuant to which a Business person may apply for Canadian permanent residence including: the Investor category, the Entrepreneur Category and the Self-Employed category. Applicants must unequivocally demonstrate that they meet the definition, as set out in immigration legislation, for the category under which they apply. A strong application will be one that is properly presented in the context of the Applicant’s particular experience, business track record, and supporting credentials.

• Investors
  

  Investors must demonstrate experience in controlling or directing a successful business venture and show that minimum net worth and investment requirements are met. Investments are made for a minimum five year term in government funds, which are passive in nature.

• Entrepreneurs
  

  Entrepreneurs must show the intention and ability to establish, purchase or make a substantial investment in a business or commercial venture in Canada that will significantly contribute to the economy and create at least one job for a Canadian citizen or permanent resident other than the Applicant or a family member.

• Self Employed Persons
  

  Self Employed Persons must show the intention and ability to establish a business in Canada that will create employment for themselves and that will make a significant contribution to the economic, cultural or artistic life of Canada.
