The
Business Immigration Program seeks to attract
experienced business people to Canada who will
support the development of a strong and prosperous
Canadian economy.
Business immigrants are expected to make a C$400,000
investment or to own and manage businesses in
Canada.
Canada has three classes of business immigrants:
a: investors
b: entrepreneurs and
c: self-employed persons.
Each
application can be made for only one class and
cannot be changed once the application is submitted.
The criteria you must meet to qualify are different
for each class.
