• Minimum investor requirements vary from C$75,000 to over C$500,00 in Canada dependent on the immigration program, but investors are not required to manage their investment day-to-day once they arrive.
• Entrepreneurs have to invest in and help manage a Canadian business. The business must create at least one job for someone apart from a member of their immediate family.
• Self-employed individuals are selected on their intention and ability to create employment for themselves. They must either work in a cultural field or athletic occupation or buy and manage a farm in Canada.

To apply for Canadian citizenship, you have to be a permanent resident, have lived in Canada for three out of the last five years, filed your taxes, pass a citizenship test and prove your language skills.

The Start-up Visa Program enables immigrant entrepreneurs to launch innovative companies that will create jobs in Canada to compete globally. It links immigrant entrepreneurs with Canadian private-sector groups experienced in scaling start-ups to provide essential business resources and support.

If you wish to immigrate to Canada with a Start-up Visa, you need to secure a minimum investment of $200,000 from an approved organization or at least $75,000 from a designated angel investor. However, if your business is accepted into a business incubator program, then you do not need to secure an investment.

While waiting for your visa or permit, you can do research on where you’re going to stay when you first arrive and gather any documents such as certificates that need to be translated if they’re not in English or French. You can also prepare for your citizenship test.

There is no standard time for processing corporate and individual immigration applications. It depends on the type of application, where it was sent, and how many applications are being processed. We will ensure all your documentation meets the required standards for your application to be processed as quickly as possible.
