Overview

Canada currently runs a Business Immigration Program which seeks to attract seasoned business people to support and encourage the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy.

There are currently three classes of business immigrants:

• Investors

• Entrepreneurs

• Self-Employed Persons

Each program provides the successful visa applicant the right to live and work in Canada on a permanent basis. Applicants are able to include eligible family members in their application, who will also be provided permanent residency status.

Investors

The Immigrant Investor Program is designed to allow business professionals the opportunity to live and work in any province of Canada (excluding Quebec) for an unlimited period of time and in return the applicant is required to make an investment of C$400,000. The CIC will return the C$400,000 investment, without interest, about five years and two months after initial payment. In addition to the investment, applicants must have a minimum net worth of C$800,000 that was obtained legally and must also pass a small points test.

In you are interested in migrating to Canada as an Investor and wish to find out more information regarding this program please call us on 020 7203 8377.

Entrepreneurs

The Entrepreneur Program seeks to attract experienced business persons who will own and actively manage businesses in Canada that contribute to the economy and create jobs.

Entrepreneurs that wish to apply under the program must show they have sufficient business experience, have a minimum net worth of C$300,000 that was legally obtained and respect the conditions for entrepreneurs in Canada.

Self-Employed Persons

For those who are self-employed and have relevant experience that will make a significant contribution to the cultural or athletic life of Canada, options for permanent residency under the Immigrant Self-Employed Program are an option. Also,  those who have experience in Farm management and have the intention and ability to purchase and manage a farm in Canada, will also qualify for this visa.

To apply for a self-employed visa, applicants must provide a variety of documents to support their claim for eligibility. If you are interested in this visa program and wish to discuss your eligibility and Canadian settlement plans, please call us on 020 7203 8377.
