There are several immigration programmes available to immigrant entrepreneurs planning to immigrate to Canada. Our immigration lawyers assist:

• Immigrant entrepreneurs,
• Immigrant investors, and
• Self-employed owners/operators

to create paths to permanent residency that align our business immigration clients’ business and immigration objectives with current legislation and programmes.

We help immigrant business owners with all aspects of business immigration applications, including

• Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIA),
• Intra-company transfers,
• Significant Benefit Applications (C11),
• Trader and Investor applications under international trade agreements,
• Reciprocal agreements,
• Business visits, and
• After-sales service agreements.

We assist our business immigration clients in obtaining permanent residency through the federal Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Program economic streams. We also help with the start-up visa programme, which targets immigrant entrepreneurs with the skills and potential to build businesses in Canada and requires a referral from one of several designated organisations, such as venture capital funds, angel investor groups, or business incubators.

Confused? We aren’t. We understand the business immigration landscape and how immigrant entrepreneurs and business people think.

Discuss Express Entry, provincial streams, the start-up visa programme, immigrant investor programmes, options for self-employment immigrants and immigrant business investors, letters of support, challenges specific to owners/operators, and what an entrepreneur must do to ensure an application is approved.
