Business Immigration to Canada
Canada offers several immigration and work-permit options for qualified entrepreneurs, investors and business owners. The appropriate pathway depends on your experience, available investment, business proposal, intended province and ability to actively manage a Canadian business.
Possible options may include provincial entrepreneur programs, business-owner work permits and other pathways available under current federal or provincial rules.
Please note that Canada’s federal Start-Up Visa Program is currently paused, and the Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Pilot Program is closed. Program availability and eligibility requirements can change without notice.
