Business Immigration Program

Eligibility criteria

Are you considering relocating to Canada to initiate a business? If you possess a business or relevant experience, you may qualify for immigration to Canada.

The Canadian government identifies business class immigrants based on their potential to achieve economic stability and contribute to the growth of the Canadian economy.

Under the business class, the entire family has the opportunity to immigrate to Canada as permanent residents. Both federal and provincial/territorial authorities actively welcome business immigrants, offering services to support them in starting businesses and settling in Canada.
Business immigrants, individuals capable of investing in or initiating businesses in Canada, are integral to fostering a robust Canadian economy. There are two classes under the federal business immigrants program: the Start-up Visa and Self-employed Persons.

In addition to federal programs, various Provincial Nominee programs for business class are accessible. Selection for business class applicants centers on their ability to create employment opportunities for themselves and other Canadians. Unlike Express Entry, business class applicants do not use the Express Entry system; instead, they submit their applications through mail.

Applicants are required to have sufficient funds to sustain themselves and their family members for a minimum of one year. Both federal and provincial programs have distinct requirements for experience, investable funds, and language proficiency.
