Business immigration to Canada is an excellent means to establish you and your family in Canada for far less money than similar programs offered in the United States, Europe or Australia.

There are three classes of business immigrants: investors, entrepreneurs and self-employed persons.

Investors must make an investment into the Federal Investor Fund or Quebec Investor Fund.

Entrepreneurs must have the intention to own and manage a business in Canada that creates employment for Canadian citizens or permanent residents.

Self-employed persons must have the intention to employ themselves and make significant contributions to cultural activities, athletics or farming.

Additional Information:

Provincial Nominee programs also provide a means for business immigrants to obtain permanent residence in Canada.

Quebec Overview: Quebec provides alternative business programs.
