Canada's Start-Up Visa Program offers a pathway to permanent residency for innovative entrepreneurs and their families, aiming to foster economic growth and job creation.

To qualify, applicants must establish a qualifying business where each holds at least 10% of the voting rights, and together with a designated organization, they control more than 50% of the voting rights. A crucial step is obtaining a Letter of Support (LOS) from a designated organization, such as a venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator, which assesses the business's potential for innovation and scalability.

Additionally, candidates must meet language proficiency requirements, achieving at least Canadian Language Benchmark level 5 in English or French, and demonstrate sufficient settlement funds to support themselves and their families upon arrival. This program not only facilitates the immigration process for entrepreneurs but also strengthens Canada's position as a global leader in innovation.

This program is ideal for innovative entrepreneurs looking to establish high-growth businesses in Canada while benefiting from strong investor networks, government support, and a direct pathway to permanent residency.
