The Business Immigration Program seeks to attract experienced business people to Canada who will support the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy. Canada has three classes of business immigrants, each with separate eligibility criteria: Investors, Entrepreneurs and Self-employed persons. Each application can be made for only one class and once the application is submitted, the class cannot be changed.

Investors Category:

Investor immigrants are expected to have  net assets of at least $800,000 and to make a $400,000 investment with the Canadian Government upon approval for Permanent Residency. Please contact ImmiGlobe to Inquire about alternative ways of entering Canada without paying the huge $$$ amount as many potential investors, though able to meet the net worth requirements, may find it difficult to raise cash in a short period of time. Others may have profitable businesses and would prefer not to liquidate their assets….we can help find other routes! ....Read on …

To better service a candidate's particular needs, ImmiGlobe can suggest different options with respect to meeting the required capital investment of $400,000 CDN. An investor can therefore provide a portion of the deposit with his own funds and we will help him obtain financing for the remaining amount by securing a loan of up to $280,000 CDN through

Consider the following options

A)      The deposit amount of $120,000 CDN will not be returned, nor will any interest or revenue be generated from it. It serves to pay the interest and any other fees related to the loan amount.

B)       Half of the deposit amount ($100,000 CDN) will not be returned and will serve to pay the interest and any other fees related to the loan amount. No interest or revenue will be generated from the total deposit amount.

C)      The total required investment is fully guaranteed by the Government, which secures the repayment at the end of the 5-year investment.

Entrepreneur:

The Entrepreneur Program seeks to attract people with business experience who have the intention and ability to actively manage a Canadian business that will positively impact the Canadian economy and create employment opportunities for Canadian residents.

As a qualified Entrepreneur, you and your immediate family can obtain Permanent Resident Visas under the Federal Program (applicants intending to reside anywhere in Canada, except Quebec) or the Quebec Program (applicants intending to reside in the province of Quebec). Both Entrepreneur Programs require you to establish or acquire a percentage of equity (at least 33.33%) in a qualifying Canadian business that you must actively manage. Your business must create at least one new job for a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

The table below summarizes the eligibility requirements of both the Federal and Quebec Entrepreneur Programs.

Entrepreneurs must:
• Show that they have business experience;
• Have a minimum net worth of CAN $300,000 that was obtained legally; and
• Respect the conditions for entrepreneurs after arrival in Canada.
