Canada’s Start-up Visa Program targets immigrant entrepreneurs with the skills and potential to build businesses in Canada that are innovative, can create jobs for Canadians, and can compete on a global scale. If you have an innovative business idea and can get support for your idea from one of the designated organizations, you may be able to immigrate to Canada.
Your business idea or venture must get the support of at least one designated Venture capital fund, an Angel investor group or a business incubator. These organizations are approved to invest in or support possible start-ups through the Start-up Visa Program.
