Immigration & Visa so far
Business entrepreneurs can obtain Canadian Startup Visa and grow their companies with the funding and expertise of approved Canadian private sector organizations. In order to get a Startup Visa, the applicants need not invest any capital. But they must receive minimum venture capital or angel investment from one or multiple designated organizations.
To be eligible to obtain a Quebec Entrepreneur Visa, the applicant must be an experienced business person or manager with an intermediate level proficiency in French. The applicant must create or acquire a business in Quebec.
Some Canadian provinces have their own entrepreneur streams to nominate applicants for permanent residence. The candidates need to meet the eligibility requirements of the respective province and manage a business within that particular province.
