Discuss Your Business Case →Canada actively welcomes entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners through a range of federal and provincial immigration programs. Business immigration files are among the most complex in Canadian immigration law — eligibility requirements are specific, documentation is extensive, and errors are costly. Our Mississauga Licensed RCIC has handled business immigration files across multiple streams and understands what officers look for.
For innovative entrepreneurs with a qualifying business idea backed by a designated Canadian venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator. Leads directly to PR.

Quebec Investor Program (where available) and provincial investor streams for high-net-worth individuals meeting capital and net worth thresholds.
The Start-Up Visa (SUV) is a federal PR program for entrepreneurs with an innovative business idea. You need a Letter of Support from a designated Canadian venture capital fund (minimum $200,000 investment), angel investor group (minimum $75,000), or business incubator. Language requirements (CLB 5 minimum), settlement funds, and other criteria also apply.
Yes — the Owner-Operator work permit (C11 exemption) allows business owners to enter Canada to manage a business they own, without requiring an LMIA. The business must provide a significant benefit to Canada. Our RCIC assesses whether your business qualifies and prepares the full application.
It depends on your business sector, net worth, investment capacity, and willingness to locate in a specific province. Ontario, BC, Saskatchewan, and Alberta all have active entrepreneur streams with different thresholds. Our RCIC maps your profile against each stream and recommends the strongest fit.
Most business immigration streams are designed as PR pathways. The Start-Up Visa leads directly to PR. Provincial entrepreneur streams typically require you to establish and operate a business for 12-24 months before the province nominates you for PR. Our RCIC plans your full timeline from initial entry to PR.
