    Business Immigration To Canada
    Over the years, Canada has immensely benefitted from foreign entrepreneurs who have immigrated to Canada to leverage their business. As per the world bank ease of doing business index ratings, Canada ranks 23rd in the world with the most diverse business culture. Considering the stats, the Canadian government has implemented a few business immigration programs to help business/start-up owners immigrate to Canada with no hassle. Below are listed a few business immigration programs that business owners can consider while applying for Canadian business immigration.

    ENTREPRENEURSHIP IMMIGRATION PROGRAM

    The entrepreneurship immigration stream is specifically designed for individuals who already have an established business in their region and looking for global expansion. Apart from that, those interested in buying an existing business in Canada or establishing a new one both options are equally eligible under the entrepreneurship immigration program. Upon completing 20 months of business on Canadian soil, foreign entrepreneurs need to approach the department of Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This department will take the final call and ensure the eligibility for permanent Canadian residence as an entrepreneur. But, evident to that, individuals must follow the necessary steps that undergo various approvals.
    ENTREPRENEURSHIP IMMIGRATION PROGRAM

    The entrepreneurship immigration stream includes the following steps:

    Step 1

    Write an expression of interest mail to the relevant authority of the entrepreneurship immigration stream.
    After verification, you and your business partner (If applicable) will be asked to attend a mandatory interview (Mostly through video conference).
    After the completion of step 1 successfully, you need to sign a performance agreement.

    Step 2

    In step 2, you will get temporary work permit support so that you can apply in the IRCC portal asking for a temporary work permit to establish and run your business in Canada.
    You will have 20 months to execute your proposed business plan and provide financial reports.
    If you could complete these 20 months coping with all the entrepreneurship immigration requirements by successfully executing your business plan, you will be rewarded with permanent residency.
    BUSINESS1 EXPERIENCE & NET WORTH

    BUSINESS1 EXPERIENCE & NET WORTH

    As per the Canadian governments’ entrepreneur immigration rule, you have to have a minimum of 24 months of productive business experience out of 60 months as an owner, business manager, or managing director, respectively.
    Also, you have a holding of at least 1/3 of your business stakes.
    Also, it would be best if you showcased a minimum net worth of $800,000 Canadian if you’re proposing to establish your business in one of the largest metropolitan areas of Canada (e.g., Toronto, Montreal) OR for the suburbs outside the metropolitan area, the amount drops to $400,000 Canadian.

    INVESTMENT & MINIMUM EQUITY

    As a maximum stakeholder in your business, it is a no-brainer that you have done a considerable part of the investment throughout the years. However, to establish your business in Canada you must make a minimum required investment as follows:
    within metropolitan areas, you must make a minimum personal investment of $600,000 Canadian
    for suburbs, you must make a minimum personal investment of $200,000 Canadian

    Note: Passive investments like mutual funds come under the in-eligible investment category and won’t be included in the applicant’s business investment section.
