Business Class Immigration to Canada:
Investors, Entrepreneurs, and
Self-Employed
|
Investors |
|
Persons with
business or management
experience who are interested in
immigrating to Canada may apply
for permanent residence under
the Investor category. To
qualify as an Investor, the
applicant should have a net
worth of at least $800,000
Canadian dollars. The applicant
is required to make an
investment of $400,000 which
will be placed into a Canadian
government fund. Financing is
available for this. The money
will be kept by the Canadian
government for five years after
which it will be returned to the
investor. All the money paid by
the investor into the investment
fund is guaranteed by the
Canadian government so there is
no chance of the investment
being lost. Investor immigration
provides business people with an
excellent avenue to secure
non-conditional permanent
residence for themselves and
their families in Canada. |

Entrepreneurs |
|
Entrepreneurs
are persons who have successful
experience starting and running
their own business. The Canadian
government encourages people
with these business skills to
immigrate to Canada. To qualify,
an Entrepreneur applicant must
have a net worth of at least
$300,000 Canadian dollars,
business experience, and the
intention to start a business in
Canada. As a condition of the
program, after immigrating the
Entrepreneur must start a
business in Canada. |
|
Self-Employed |
|
The
Self-Employed category is a type
of business immigration designed
for persons who are able to
start a small business that
creates a job for themselves.
The self-employment must be in
an occupation that benefits
Canada culturally: this includes
artists, athletes, and farmers.
A self-employed applicant should
have experience working in a
self-employed capacity, or
relevant work experience that
would allow them to be
self-employed. There is no
minimum net worth required to
qualify as a self-employed
immigrant, however, the
applicant should have sufficient
funds to start whatever business
they intend to pursue in order
to be self-employed. |
