Understanding Business Immigration in Canada

Business immigration in Canada encompasses programs designed to attract foreign business owners, investors, entrepreneurs, start-ups, and high-net-worth individuals seeking to establish or expand their business ventures in the country. These programs include the Start-up Visa (SUV) program, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) for entrepreneurs, the Self-Employed Program, and pathways transitioning from a Work Permit (WP) to permanent residency (PR), such as Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) for business owners.

Immigrate Your Business to Canada with Prestige Law Ontario

Canada actively seeks companies, business executives, managers, investors, and entrepreneurs who can contribute significantly to its economy and society. To attract these individuals, there are several federal business immigration programs designed to facilitate the immigration process for businesspeople and self-employed individuals looking to establish or grow their business in Canada, or contribute their expertise and resources to the Canadian economy.

Additionally, each province and territory in Canada operates its own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), offering pathways for applicants with management or entrepreneurial experience to work in Canada and potentially obtain permanent residency.

Understanding Work Permits for Executives:
Canada offers several programs for executives seeking to work in the country. While business visitor visas are suitable for brief business visits, executives requiring long-term work in Canada will need a work permit, unless they are permanent residents. Prestige Law Ontario can assist executives in identifying the most suitable work permit program for their entry and residence in Canada.

Owner/Operator Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Work Permit:
This program allows foreign nationals to obtain a two-year work permit in Canada. It is available across Canada and can serve as a pathway to permanent residence for business owners or operators. Our experienced team can assist executives in applying for and potentially obtaining these work permits, as well as navigating the path to permanent residence through the Express Entry Program.

Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) Work Permit:
Another attractive option for executives is the Intra-Company Transfer work permit, which facilitates the transfer of employees or executives from a foreign-based company to its related Canadian company. This program encourages foreign senior-level executives to bring their specialised knowledge and experience to Canada, benefiting the Canadian economy. The executive can also be accompanied by a spouse on an open work permit. To be eligible, the executive must have worked for the foreign company for at least one year, held a senior or managerial position, or a specialised knowledge position, and have been offered a job with a Canadian affiliate, branch, or subsidiary/parent of the foreign company.
