  The full amount of the investment will be returned to you in full without interest, within the 5-year term. The funds will be used for 5 years by the IRCC to develop the local economy and create jobs both on the provincial and federal level.

Start-Up Visa Program

• Start-up businesses have been an important part of the Canadian economy for over a decade. Whether they develop into a multinational corporation or continue to operate as local mid-sized business, they are considered to be important in overall Canadian economic growth, helping to turn innovative ideas and new technologies into profitable enterprises and creating employment opportunities for new talent.The Start-up Visa program is open to immigrant entrepreneurs who can demonstrate potential to build a business based on an innovative idea, or using cutting-edge technology in Canada.In order to apply for the Start-up Visa Program, the business must meet the following requirements:
  • Be based on an innovative idea or technology
  • Have confirmed intention to invest in, from a third party, the amount of $75,000 CAD
  • Confirmed investment intent of at least $200,000 CAD from a venture capital fund
  • Confirmed acceptance by a designated business incubator

Self-Employed Persons Program

The self-employed labour sector is a rapidly growing segment of the Canadian labour market. It becomes increasingly popular as it offers a certain flexibility and contract opportunities with multiple business partners and employers allowing the self-employed workforce to control income and work time.

The IRCC recognizes the importance of the self-employed workforce for the labour market in Canada. To be able to qualify as a self-employed person, the candidate will have to demonstrate relevant skills, as well as the ability to support themselves and their dependents with their self-employed income (farmer, athlete, artisan, graphic designer, IT specialist).
