Business Investor Visa For Canada
Business investor visa for Canada is an exclusive economic immigration program for business investors. By investing and creating at least two full-time jobs in Canada, you can immigrate to this country and become a permanent resident of Canada.
The Federal Government of Canada has made changes to the Business Immigration Program (BIP) which grants permanent residency to investors, entrepreneurs and self-employed persons. These applicants must obtain a minimum net worth of over $1.6 million or invest $800,000 in the form of a five-year, zero-interest bearing loan to the government.
What is the minimum investment that I need to apply through the Start-up Visa Program?
If the investment comes from a designated Canadian venture capital fund, you must secure a minimum investment of $200,000.
If the investment comes from a designated Canadian angel investor group, you must secure a minimum investment of $75,000.
You don’t need to secure a financial investment from a business incubator. You must be accepted into a Canadian business incubator program.
See the list of designated organizations for more information.
