Canada’s start-up visa program allows entrepreneurs with unique business ideas the opportunity to immigrate to Canada with their family members to establish a new business. Applicants must demonstrate that their business is innovative, will create new jobs for Canadians, and can compete on a global scale.
To apply you must have a qualifying business where you hold at least 10% of the voting rights of all shares of the company, get a letter of support from a designated organization, and meet the language requirements. Apart from the basic criteria, the only other condition you may have to meet is to “secure a commitment from a designated Canadian angel investor group or venture capital fund to invest in your business idea.”
If you meet all or any of the above, kindly book a consultation with one of our immigration consultants so they can assess your eligibility for the program and also advise you on all you need to do to use this program to migrate to Canada.
