BUSINESS CLASS IMMIGRATION

Business immigrants are people who can invest in, or start businesses in Canada and are expected to support the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy.

The Business Immigration Programs seek to attract people experienced in business to Canada.

Business immigrants are selected based on their ability to become economically established in Canada.


There are three classes of business immigrants:

Investors:

The Immigrant Investor Program is designed to attract experienced business persons who could invest capital in Canada. Investors must demonstrate business experience and must have a minimum net worth of CDN $800,000 and are able to make an investment of CDN $400,000. The investment in this program is held for five year with no interest.
Entrepreneurs:

The Entrepreneur Program is design to attract experienced persons that will own and actively manage businesses in Canada and will contribute to the economy. Also, to provide employment opportunities of at least one full-time employee in the business. Entrepreneurs must demonstrate business experience, a minimum net worth of CDN $300,000, and are subject to conditions upon arrival in Canada.
Self-employed persons:

Self-employed persons must have the intention and ability to create their own employment. They are expected to contribute to the cultural or athletic life of Canada. They may create their own employment by purchasing and managing a farm in Canada.


FAMILY CLASS IMMIGRATION

Canadian citizens and permanent residents living in Canada, 18 years of age or older, may sponsor close relatives or family members who want to become permanent residents of Canada. Sponsors must promise to support the relative or family member and their accompanying family members for a period of three to 10 years to help them settle in Canada.

QUEBEC SELECTION

Quebec is responsible for selecting immigrants who wish to settle in Quebec. The Quebec government and the Government of Canada have an agreement that allows Quebec to select immigrants who best meet its immigration needs. Under the Canada-Quebec Accord on Immigration, Quebec is able to establish its own immigration requirements and select immigrants who will adapt well to living in Quebec. As Quebec is a French speaking province, the use of the French language would be considered an asset.
