Canada has the 10th largest economy in the world. Leading sectors include automotive, aviation, forest products, minerals, and petroleum. Canadian citizens and permanent residents enjoy one of the best qualities of life in the world and social benefits such as a national health care program, free education for elementary and high school levels, affordable superior education, and a retired public health system.
To maintain and boost its economic system, Canada has various programs that seek to attract people with successful business experience in their respective countries. All of these programs lead to permanent residence in Canada, which is also the way to obtain Canadian citizenship in the future.
Among others, Canada offers the following Business Immigration Programs: Provincial Nominee Entrepreneur programs, the Federal Immigrant Investor Venture Capital (IIVC) Pilot Program, the Federal Start-Up Visa program, and the self-employed programs. In general, the entrepreneur programs are aimed at individuals with a mid-range personal net worth who wish to establish and operate a business in Canada. The investor programs are suited for high net worth individuals who wish to make a passive investment with no obligation to establish a business.
These programs are not always available, so please contact us to learn more about your current possibilities.
Many provinces and territories have streams linked with the Federal Express Entry selection system.
A provincial nomination is the most valuable factor in the Comprehensive Ranking System. Out of the maximum score of 1,200 that can be assigned to Express Entry candidates, 600 points correspond to a provincial nomination. These 600 points can probably guarantee that the applicant will receive an Invitation To Apply (ITA).
Individuals who wish to apply for a provincial nomination under a PNP stream must first create an Express Entry profile and enter the pool.
Within the provincial programs are the entrepreneurs or investors programs. These types of programs are ideal for people with business experience, some capital accumulated during their professional life and willing to open a business within Canada.
Compared with skilled worker programs, the requirements of English or French level are usually lower on these investor or entrepreneur programs, and in some provinces, age is not a limitation to consider for applicants.
