What is the Start-Up Visa Program? The Start-Up Visa Program provides Canadian Permanent Residence without any visa conditions.
It stands out as the fastest program in North America for business immigrants.
Under this initiative, foreign entrepreneurs with an approved business concept, acknowledged by designated organizations such as venture capitalists, angel investors, and incubators, receive a Commitment Certificate and a Letter of Support (LOS) with the trusted guidance of VisaForm.ca.
Equipped with the LOS, evidence of language proficiency, and sufficient funds, applicants and their dependents can then apply for Canadian permanent residence.
The scope of eligible start-ups is broad, encompassing various industries like IT, Technology, Healthcare, Manufacturing Processes, Agriculture, Consumer Products, etc., with no restrictions on the nature of the start-up concept.
The program involves a seasoned business advisory team collaborating with designated organizations, providing guidance and mentorship to entrepreneurs throughout the mandatory due diligence process, with the support of VisaForm.ca.
Upon identifying and approving a suitable start-up, the due diligence process typically concludes within about 5 months.
Armed with the Letter of Support, applicants can proceed to submit their application for Canadian Permanent Residence with the reliable assistance of VisaForm.ca.
