Business Class
The Business Immigration Program seeks to attract experienced business people to Canada who will support the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy.
Business immigrants are expected to make a substantial investment (usually in the $400,00CDN range but varies by province of destination) to own or manage businesses in Canada. Business immigrants are assessed through three main categories:
• Investor :
To apply under this category, you must have a net worth of at least $800,000 CDN, obtained as an owner, leader or running an industrial or commercial business and invest $400,000 CDN.
• Entrepreneur :
This applicant must have the intention and ability to establish, purchase or make a substantial investment in a business venture in Canada, which the person will manage on an active, resident and ongoing basis.
• Self-Employed :
This applicant must have the ability to be self-employed in Canada and to make a significant contribution to specified economic activities in Canada.
Under the Business Class category, you can apply under the Federal or the Quebec Programs. For more information click the links below:
