Start-Up Visa Is a Gateway For Many Entrepreneurs To Immigrate To Canada!

Are you an entrepreneur who would like to immigrate to Canada and start a business? Then Canada's Startup Visa program for entrepreneurs will be the perfect opportunity for you! 

The program is designed to invite dynamic entrepreneurs around the world, relocate those individuals to Canada, and give them the financial help they need to build businesses that can compete on a global scale and provide jobs for Canadians. Entrepreneurs who are eligible for the Startup Visa program will be fast-tracked; the goal is to accelerate the immigration process for successful applicants for entry into Canada in a short amount of time. The good news is the Canadian Entrepreneur Visa grants permanent resident status (PR) which can then lead to citizenship! Also, Canada appreciates that being an entrepreneur is a risky business - if your business fails, your permanent resident status is not affected.

How Does The Program work?

If you want to immigrate to Canada through this program, all potentially eligible applicants and/or businesses should receive a support letter from a designated organization in Canada (approved list by the Canadian government). The designated organizations in Canada can include incubators, angel investors, and/or venture capital. Our licensed immigration office in Canada assists potential applicants and businesses to apply for the support letter. As INGWE Immigration Inc., we specialize in this specific program and have obtained many support letters for start-up businesses in the past.
