Canada’s Startup Visa Program targets immigrant entrepreneurs with the skills and potential to build businesses in Canada that are innovative, can create jobs for Canadians and can compete on a global scale.
Do you have an innovative business idea? If you can get support for your idea from one of the designated organizations, you may be able to immigrate to Canada.
You can apply for the Start-up Visa Program as an individual or as part of a group of up to 5 owners. Either way, you need to meet certain requirements:
- have a qualifying business
- get a letter of support from a designated organization
- meet the language requirements
- bring enough money to settle
To qualify under this program:
- each applicant must hold 10% or more of the total voting rights AND
- applicants and the designated organization together must hold more than 50% of the total voting rights
If your application is successful, you need to
- incorporate your business in Canada
- provide active and ongoing management of your business from inside Canada
- make sure an essential part of business operations happens in Canada
