Canada is looking for people able to contribute to its economy. Several federal and provincial programs are aimed at entrepreneurs, investors, self-employed persons and managers with capital, leadership experience and entrepreneurial skills.

The most travelled routes

Start-up Visa. The applicant signs an agreement with a designated organization in Canada - a venture capital fund, an angel investor group or a business incubator - which supports them financially and technically. What Canada is looking for here are innovative businesses that can compete globally and create jobs.

Quebec Entrepreneur Program. Designed for business owners and managers able to create or acquire a business in Quebec.

Self-employed persons. For people whose experience in cultural or athletic activities allows them to become established on their own account.

How we help

We assess the viability of the project before anything is filed: nature of the business, capital available, place of establishment, best-suited program. We then prepare the business plan, the agreement with the designated organization where one is required, and the permanent residence application.
