Investment in Canada for citizenship is available through various routes. The main Canada investor visa is no longer available in 2018. However, Canadian citizenship by investment is not your only option in 2018. The processing time for Canadian investor visas can take much longer than another option ... the Canada startup visa through a business incubator. This is a great alternative option if you are looking for a business visa to Canada. The Canada and Quebec investor options include options with no minimum investment amount, and one of these is the startup visa via acceptance to an incubator, or investment by a Canadian angel investor group. The business incubator option gives a great fast entry to Canada once you are accepted onto the program.

in this video, we are going to look at the Startup visa route for Canada and how you can make a successful application. One of the unique things about the Canada start-up program is that you can get permanent residence immediately if you make a successful application, unlike many other start-up visa programs internationally, which I talk about on this channel, which only allow you to get permanent residence after several years - anything from two to five years or more.

The way it works for the Canada program is you need to be accepted by one of the designated incubators. There are 25 of them. Once you accepted onto an incubator programme, then the likelihood is that your application will be granted. And there is no minimum investment amount. So this means it's all about persuading the incubator of the merit of your business idea, and that that you ought to be accepted into the programme. Now because the incubators - all 25 of them - have different criteria for accepting people onto their programs, I’m developing a service which is all about helping you perfect your pitch, so it meets the requirements, and be a single point of contact to submit your proposal to all of the incubators relevant to you - to enhance your prospects of success. If your application is successful, then I and the authorized Canadian representative process the paperwork for your application, but the challenging part for many is the first part, in other words, getting onto the program, because they are so competitive.

Expert, tailored legal, commercial, immigration and tax advice should be taken which takes into account your particular circumstances.
