Canada Entrepreneur Immigration
If you want to immigrate to Canada as an entrepreneur, the Government of Canada
and several provinces offer exciting opportunities through various business immigration programs
designed to support investment and innovation.
Start-up Visa Program
The Start-up Visa Program encourages immigrant entrepreneurs to grow their
businesses in Canada. Selected candidates connect with private sector organizations—such as
venture capital funds, angel investor groups, or business incubators—that provide funding,
mentorship, and support. This program targets entrepreneurs with innovative ideas and the
potential to build globally competitive businesses that generate employment in Canada.
Quebec Entrepreneur Program
Quebec’s Canadian immigrant category is designed to allow experienced business
owners and qualified managers to settle permanently in Canada. To be eligible, applicants must
intend to establish or acquire an agricultural, commercial, or industrial business in the
province of Quebec and actively participate in its management.
Provincial Entrepreneur Programs
Provinces in Canada offer various entrepreneurial streams under their Provincial
Nominee Programs (PNPs). These categories allow immigrant entrepreneurs to settle in a specific
province by starting or investing in a business that contributes to the local economy. Each
province sets its own requirements based on regional economic needs.
