The Business Immigration to Canada Program is designed for a business person or manager looking to immigrate to Canada. If you are interested in making an investment or starting a business in Canada, there are several options to choose from. The Canadian government has created three business immigration programs which welcome business immigrants into Canada. These programs were created to help make Canada stronger. Allowing foreign investors and business people to immigrate to Canada helps boost the economy and provides excellent opportunities for experienced businessmen and women from all over the globe to immigrate to Canada and become permanent residents or citizens. If you meet the qualifications for any of these Business Immigration to Canada programs, it could be your fast-track ticket to Canada.
The Immigrant Investor Program was developed to assist those who are experienced in business to immigrate to Canada, receive permanent residency, and even become Canadian citizens under this immigration program. If you meet the following requirements, you may apply for Business Immigration to Canada under the Immigrant Investor Program:
You must have a net worth of at least $1.6 million CAD, legally obtained;
Have at least two years of managerial experience in a qualifying business; and
Be willing and able to make a government-secured passive investment of $800,000 CAD
All work experience must be with a qualifying business. As such, you will be required to provide documentation showing that your business meets the criteria for a qualifying business under the Business Immigration to Canada Program. Our immigration consultants can assist you in establishing whether your business fits the requirements of the program.
The Entrepreneur Program was created to bring experienced business people from all over the world into Canada in order to boost the economy and create jobs. If you are a qualified entrepreneur interested in starting a business in Canada, this Business Immigration to Canada program may allow you and your family to enter Canada and receive permanent residency or citizenship.
To qualify for Business Immigration to Canada through the Entrepreneur Program, you must meet the following criteria:
Have at least $300,000 CAD net worth, legally obtained;
Have at least two years of experience in management of a qualifying business; and
Be willing and able to establish or acquire a business in Canada which will create at least one job for a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (not including yourself and any family members).
All work experience must be with a qualifying business. As such, you will be required to provide documentation showing that your business meets the criteria for a qualifying business under the Business Immigration to Canada Program. Our consultants can assist you in establishing whether your business fits the requirements of the program.
The Self-Employed Persons Program allows entrance into Canada to any persons who have relevant experience as a self-employed farmer, athlete (on an international level), or artisan. If you fit into one of these categories and can show that your experience will have a positive impact on Canada’s cultural life, you may benefit from the Self-Employed Persons Program. To qualify for this program, you must meet the following criteria:
Be a farmer, athlete (at an international level), or artisan with relevant experience;
Have at least two years of experience in the relevant field for which you are applying; and
Be willing and able to be self-employed in Canada and contribute to the country’s economic health.
Business Immigration to Canada requires that you meet the requirements for the class under which you are applying. You will be assessed on a number of qualifying factors including your education, experience, age, language proficiency, and adaptability. This assessment will be based on the information and documentation provided with your immigration application. Because this is one of the more difficult programs to be accepted in to and because there is a lot of difficult to obtain information required, having a knowledgeable immigration consultant on your side is a wise choice. The tiniest error on your application or missing/incomplete documentation may result in months of delay as well as non-refundable fees. We can help you save time and money and guarantee your approval into the program for which you are eligible.
