Our services

What we offer

We help you determine the right business immigration route and ensure your application meets legal, financial, and operational requirements.

01

Start-Up Visa (SUV)

This federal program allows innovative entrepreneurs to obtain PR by securing support from a designated organization (venture capital fund, angel investor group, or incubator). We guide you through preparing your business concept, securing a letter of support, and submitting a strong PR application.

02

Self-Employed Persons Program

For individuals with significant experience in athletics, culture, or the arts, this program offers a route to PR based on your ability to contribute to Canada's cultural or athletic life. We help you demonstrate relevant experience and your intent to be self-employed in Canada.

03

Provincial Entrepreneur Streams (PNPs)

Many provinces offer business immigration streams for applicants willing to invest in and actively manage a business. We assist with business proposals, Expressions of Interest (EOIs), interviews, performance agreements, and eventual PR applications after nomination.

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply for a Start-Up Visa without a business already running?
Yes. You need a viable concept and support from a designated organization—not necessarily a functioning business.
Is business experience mandatory for PNP entrepreneur programs?
Yes. Most streams require 2-3 years of business ownership or senior management experience.
Do I get PR right away under business streams?
In most PNP streams, you start with a temporary work permit and get PR after fulfilling business commitments. Start-Up Visa leads directly to PR.
Can my family immigrate with me?
Yes. Your spouse and dependent children can be included in your PR application.
Do I need to invest my own funds?
Yes. Whether it's an SUV, self-employed, or PNP stream, personal financial commitment is required.
What will be the processing time?
Processing times may vary depending on stream and individual case complexity. Contact us for the latest updates.
