Start-up Visa

Unlike many other countries, Canada offers immediate permanent residency for foreign nationals who are accepted into its Startup Visa program. 

This is therefore an excellent immigration path for aspiring or current entrepreneurs who wish to enrich Canada’s economic ecosystem with an innovative project.

The Canada Start-up Visa program (SUV) links innovative foreign entrepreneurs with private sector organizations in Canada who will help them establish their start-up business.

To qualify for the program, the business must be innovative, create jobs for Canadians and be able to compete internationally.

In comparison with other immigration programs, SUV has a very short processing time which allows the applicants to obtain PR directly in around 6-8 months and also the whole process and documents are much simpler.
