Canadian Business Immigration Visas
We work with international business people preparing visa cases so that a visa officer can clearly understand how the business works, determine its profitability, and see why it qualifies for Investor Immigration.
There are three main streams of federal business immigration: investors, entrepreneurs, and self-employed persons.
To qualify as an Investor, applicants destined for any province in Canada other than the Province of Québec must meet three conditions:
- They must have “Business Experience”;
- They must have a legally obtained net worth of $800,000 CAD; and
- They must invest $400,000 without interest for 5 years into the Federal Immigrant Investor program.
(We work with banks that will lend you monies to invest in the fund, so that you just need a down-payment of about $130,000 CAD.).
To qualify as an Entrepreneur, you must show that:
- Have “Business Experience”;
- Have a legally earned net worth of $300,000 CAD; and
- Agree in writing that you will meet certain conditions within three years of arrival.
A Self Employed person is an immigrant who intends and has the ability to be self employed in Canada, in cultural activities, athletics, or in managing a farm. If you have participated at a world class level in your field, you don’t have to have been self employed before coming to Canada.
It is similar to the Entrepreneur category except that:
- No investment is required;
- No minimum net worth is required;
- No employees are necessary;
- The visa is unconditional, rather than conditional.
Pathways to Permanent Residency:
Emigration is the most important event in your life.
It's too important to go it alone.
Immigration law is complex and constantly changing. It's important to retain a professional advisor who monitors legal developments on a full-time basis.
You need an advocate to protect your rights during the process;
don't go it alone.
- The financial and legal paperwork is quite onerous and requires professional assistance: we have in-house immigration advisors & financial planners.
- We can fast-track your case by providing the Visa Officer with a compelling narrative and bullet-proof application.
- We can provide you with assistance in financing the mandated investment.
- We can match you with alternatives such as NAFTA visas or a Provincial Nominee Program.
