BUSINESS IMMIGRATION
Canada offers a wide variety of immigration routes for business owners, skilled professionals, and investors aiming to set up operations, transfer employees, or launch entrepreneurial ventures in the country.
đ Work Permits Supported by LMIA
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is often used to support work permit applications. It demonstrates that no qualified Canadian is available for the job, allowing foreign professionalsâespecially executivesâto fill essential roles temporarily or permanently.
đ€ OwnerâOperator LMIA
This program is designed for entrepreneurs who are ready to invest in and run a Canadian business. By obtaining an LMIA or positive recommendation from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), you can secure a work permit and receive Express Entry points under âArranged Employment.â
đ IntraâCompany Transfer
Ideal for international companies operating in Canada, this option allows staff from a foreign subsidiary, branch, or affiliate to transfer to Canada. It does not require an LMIA, making the process faster and simpler for qualifying employees.
đ StartâUp Visa Program
The Start-Up Visa targets innovative entrepreneurs who have secured backing from one of Canadaâs designated organizations (venture capital funds, angel investors, or business incubators). It enables you to establish a high-potential business in Canada and pursue permanent residency.
⥠Global Talent Stream
Part of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, the Global Talent Stream allows Canadian employers to hire highly skilled international workers quicklyâoften within two weeksâwhen local talent isnât available. Benefits include minimal recruitment requirements and fast processing.
