Each of Canada’s provinces has its own small immigration program whereby the provincial government can nominate individuals for immigration to their province based on their own specific criteria. After getting nomination by a province, the individual can apply for permanent residence through the federal immigration program. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) usually break down into two broad categories: -

​

❖ Skilled worker category

And

❖ Business / Entrepreneur immigration category.

​

There is a different eligibility criterion for each provincial entrepreneur immigration program. For further details please contact Aujla Law Firm.

START-UP VISA

​

Canada’s Start-up Visa Program provides Canadian immigration opportunity to immigrant entrepreneurs who have the skills and potential to build businesses in Canada that:

​

 

❖ Are Innovative

❖ Can create jobs for Canadians

❖ Can compete on a global scale

​

Do you have an innovative business idea? If you can get support for your idea from one of the designated organizations, you may be able to immigrate to Canada.

To apply under Start-Up Visa Program, your business idea or venture must get the support of one or more of the designated organizations:-

​

 

❖ Venture Capital Funds

❖ Angel Investor Groups

❖ Business Incubators

Designated organizations are business groups that are approved to invest in or support possible start-ups through the Start-up Visa Program.

Organizations choose which business proposals to review. Each organization has its own intake process for proposals and criteria used to assess them. For example, you may be asked to present your business concept in person or submit a detailed business plan.

If an organization decides to review your business idea, it will assess the potential of your proposal and whether it will succeed. If an organization chooses to support your business idea, it will give you a Letter of Support.
