Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
If I don't have business experience, am I eligible to apply for the Canadian Start-Up Visa?

Both individuals with work experience and those with business experience can consider applying for the Canadian Start-Up Visa (SUV) immigration program. Friends with a STEM background should especially reach out to us and proactively strategize their applications.

Can I still apply for the Canadian Start-Up Visa if I don't have a specific innovative business plan?

We will first understand the educational background, work scope, and field of our clients in order to provide feasible advice. We will also assist interested applicants in writing their Canadian Start-Up Visa business plans.

The Canadian Start-Up Visa program requires applicants to complete a short-term course. Is it necessary to study in Canada for this course?

We collaborate with multiple incubator companies, and applicants can choose online courses as per their needs.

If the business in Canada, after obtaining a work visa, is unable to generate profits, will it affect the acquisition of permanent residency?

No, it will not. The revenue generated by the business is not a determining factor. The most important factors are the authenticity of the business and whether it aligns with industry standards in terms of its development stage.

After obtaining a work visa, am I allowed to seek other employment in Canada aside from the business?

No, you should focus on launching your business according to the plan. Your spouse will also obtain a work visa to work freely in Canada, and your children will have access to free education in the country.
