Business Investment Visa In Canada
The Business Investor Program enables experienced business people who want to live and work in Canada, to come here and run a business in Canada. A number of such programs exist within the business class, but this one is the most popular. The person who owns or has significant interest in a business in another country can move to Canada and take over the management of this foreign Canadian business in Indonesia, while they maintain their existing business abroad.

The Business Investment stream of the Canadian Immigrant Investor Program is designed to attract experienced business persons who, after a significant period of business ownership and management experience, have clearly established a proven track record within their enterprise and who have made a commitment to Canada’s long term economic goals. The investment requirements for Provincial Nominee programs range from $150,000 up to $800,000 and usually are tied to the number of immigrants an each province is looking to nominate.
