Business immigration programs.
Canada attracts people with serious potential to contribute to the Canadian economy. Programs have been designed to promote economic development, improving the labor market by attracting investors, entrepreneurs, self-employed foreigners with available capital, management experience and entrepreneurial skills.
Through immigration programs aimed at the “business class” , Canada tends to try to develop new opportunities to allow access to new foreign markets by welcoming people familiar with these markets, their own needs and own clientele.
Depending on your experience and goals, where you plan to settle, you could opt for a federal program or one from a particular province, such as the Quebec Investor Program.
