Start-up Visa Program
As an entrepreneur or business person, the start-up (SUV) program might be the ideal immigration pathway for you.
The program is designed to bring to Canada entrepreneurs and founders with innovative business ideas. It offers them a direct path
to Canadian permanent residence.
One of the major benefits to you is that you are able to establish your startup in Canada with immediate access to the North American market.
Program Requirements:
For a business to meet the requirements of the program, it needs to be:
- Innovative
- Scalable
- Beneficial to the Canadian economy
To participate in the program, your business has to be confirmed as meeting above criteria by a government-approved designated entity. An entrepreneur can immigrate through the SUV program either as a founder or as a co-founder – by joining a team of entrepreneurs with similar business interests.
