Start-up Visa
Start-up visa Program
The Start-Up visa is a special visa for entrepreneurs in Canada that can also lead to permanent residency if the applicant is successful in launching their idea while securing funding. This is a great new opportunity for people who want to immigrate to Canada and who have entrepreneurial skills or a great new business idea that can benefit Canada.
With the support of a designated organization, immigrant entrepreneurs can apply for permanent residence in Canada and launch their start-up here. Designated organizations include venture capital funds, angel investor groups and business incubators that have been approved to support these start-ups.
Eligibility requirements for the Start-up Visa Program
You must:
- have a qualifying business
- have a letter of support from a designated organization
- meet the language requirements, and
- have enough money to settle and live in Canada before you make money from your business
In Mehr Immigration Services Corporation, we help you develop your start-up idea to meet the standards, find a proper designated accelerator, prepare appropriate documents to obtain LOS, patent the idea, establish your intellectual property, and eventually receive your permanent residency.
