💰 Business & Investment Immigration

Canada offers several immigration pathways for entrepreneurs, investors, and self-employed individuals who can contribute to the Canadian economy. These pathways are highly structured and carefully assessed. Business ownership, investment, or property purchase alone does not grant immigration status, and applications must be strategically aligned with recognized immigration programs.

We advise clients exploring business and investment-based immigration options and provide guidance on how business activities or assets may support lawful immigration pathways when properly structured.

Business & Investment Immigration Pathways

We assist clients with a range of federal and provincial business-related programs, including:

• Start-Up Visa Program
  For entrepreneurs with innovative business ideas supported by designated Canadian organizations
• Provincial Entrepreneur Programs
  Business immigration pathways offered by provinces and territories for business owners and investors
• Self-Employed Persons Program
  For individuals with qualifying experience in cultural, athletic, or farming activities
• Owner-Operator & Business-Based Work Permits
  For business owners seeking temporary work authorization in Canada
• Intra-Company Transfers (ICT)
  For executives, managers, and key personnel transferring to a Canadian branch
• Quebec Business Immigration Programs
  Business and self-employment pathways under Québec's distinct immigration system

A Strategic Approach to Business Immigration

Business and investment immigration requires more than capital. Applications are assessed on factors such as business viability, economic benefit, management involvement, and compliance with program requirements. We help clients understand which pathways may be realistic and appropriate based on their background, objectives, and risk tolerance.

Where permanent residence is not immediately available, we also advise on step-by-step strategies that may begin with temporary work authorization and progress toward permanent residence over time.
