Start-Up Visa.
The Canadian government offers many opportunities for those who wish to invest and build their businesses. In order to qualify for a Start-Up Visa, your business must get support from either a Venture Capital Fund, Angel Investor, or Business Incubator. You must also prove your language skills at an agency that is approved by Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
A Venture Capital Fund is a pool of financial investors who invest in early stage start-up businesses, where an Angel Investor is typically an individual who invests in a start-up business; finally, Business Incubators are found in many major Canadian cities, and they exist to help start-up businesses accelerate their growth through mentorship and financial investment.
Each of these 3 support options have unique intake requirements that may involve you presenting your business idea in person, or at minimum to present a business plan. If accepted, you will receive a Letter of Support which will aid you in your immigration process.
Many of these visa options ultimately lead to you earning your permanent residence (PR) in Canada. This provides you with all of the benefits of being a citizen, except for voting in elections, and joining the military.
