Provincial Business Immigration
Canadian provinces actively seek experienced business managers and entrepreneurs to boost local economies. Through PNP Entrepreneur Streams, successful applicants are nominated for permanent residency.
How It Works
Most PNP entrepreneur streams operate on a two-step process:
- Work Permit Stage: You first arrive in Canada on a temporary work permit to establish and run your business.
- Permanent Residence Stage: Once you meet the terms of your performance agreement (e.g., job creation, investment amount), you receive a provincial nomination, which allows you to apply for permanent residence.
Key Requirements
While criteria vary by province, common requirements include:
- Minimum net worth (usually 0,000 to 0,000 CAD).
- Minimum investment amount in the local business.
- Previous business ownership or senior management experience.
- Creation of at least one or two full-time jobs for Canadians.
- An exploratory visit to the province (recommended or mandatory).
