Start-Up Visa Program

The Start-Up Visa Program is an initiative by the Government of Canada aimed at attracting innovative entrepreneurs from around the world to establish their businesses in Canada. Under this program, eligible entrepreneurs with innovative business ideas and the potential for significant economic impact are granted permanent residency in Canada. To qualify for the Start-Up Visa Program, applicants must have a qualifying business idea, obtain a letter of support from a designated organization, demonstrate proficiency in English or French, and have sufficient funds to support themselves and their families. Once approved, entrepreneurs and their families can immigrate to Canada and work towards building and growing their businesses in a supportive and dynamic environment. The Start-Up Visa Program not only provides a pathway to permanent residency for talented entrepreneurs but also contributes to Canada's economic growth and innovation ecosystem by attracting innovative ideas and investment to the country.
