CANADA STARTUP VISA PROGRAM

Under Canada’s Startup permit program, candidates can come to Canada on a work permit which is sponsored by their Canada-based investor and then apply for a permanent residence once their business is established in the country.

This program encourages immigrant entrepreneurs to develop their start-ups in Canada. Successful applicants can tie-up with private sector investors in Canada to receive help on funding and guidance on running their business. The three types of private sector investors they can approach are:

• Venture capital fund
• Business incubator
• Angel investor

 Eligibility requirements for applicants for the permit are:

Have proof that the business has the required support from a designated entity in the form of a Commitment Certificate and Letter of Support

• Have a qualifying business
• Have the required proficiency in English or French
• Have completed at least one year of post-secondary education
