START-UP VISA CANADA PROGRAM

The Start-Up Visa program grants Canadian permanent residence to qualified immigrant entrepreneurs. The program became official in 2018. Unlike the Provincial Immigration programs, applicants are entitled to apply directly for Permanent Residence (accepted in 12-16 months) without having to go through the provincial approval step. 

The program aims to recruit innovative entrepreneurs to Canada and link them with the Canadian private sector businesses, (angel investor groups, venture capital funds or business incubators) and facilitate the establishment of their start-up business in Canada.

With the advantage of being one of the leading and most stable economies in the world, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada hopes the program will create the second “Silicon Valley” in North America for the country.
