Business Immigration

Newcomers to Canada play a crucial role in our country’s future and our economic recovery from the pandemic. They enrich our communities, and they work every day to create jobs, care for our loved ones and support local businesses. Business immigrants to Canada create jobs and drive the Canadian economy. If you are a candidate with entrepreneurial or management experience then you should explore the Business Immigration programs.

Federal Business Immigration Programs

Whether you are self-employed, are looking to purchase, grow or start a business in Canada, or simply would like to leverage your personal net worth to help drive the Canadian economy, there are several Federal Business Immigration Programs designed to fit the skills and experience of successful business persons who want to settle in any province (except Quebec).

Start up Visa program

If you have an innovative business idea or a new product to launch, consider the Start up visa program. This program works with you and up to five members of your product team to leverage start up funding from Angel investors, Venture Capitalists and business incubator programs. 

Provincial Nominee Programs for Business

Each province and territory operate their own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), many of which have a stream for candidates with entrepreneurial or management experience. The eligibility criteria and application procedure for each PNP stream varies, but successful applicants will qualify for a Provincial Nomination to support permanent residence in Canada. 

Federal Self-Employed Programs

If you already work and are experienced as a farmer, professional athlete or work and support yourself through your artistic endeavours, you might be eligible to apply under the Federal Self-Employed program yourself and immediate family.

LDP works with a team of business support specialists to help you with your business idea and development whether you are purchasing a franchise or starting your own new business. We can support you with referrals to our vetted team members for business planning, market research, and help connecting with Venture Capital and Angel investor groups.
