Canada has a strong economic culture. If you have experience running or investing in businesses, you may qualify to come to Canada as a business immigrant. The Government of Canada has an Entrepreneur Program aimed at experienced business people who plan to own and actively manage businesses in Canada that contribute to the economy and create jobs. Entrepreneurs must possess business experience, a minimum legally obtained net worth of CAD 300,000, and be able to obtain at least 35 points on the Canadian immigration selection grid. Applicants in the Entrepreneur Program must commit to managing and owning at least one-third of a business of a defined size for at least one year within three years of landing in Canada.
In addition to the Government of Canada Entrpreneur Program, several provinces also have programs for entrpreneurs. To find out if you qualify in the Entrepreneur category, send us your details right away.
