SPECIALIZED PATHWAYS
Business & Investor Immigration
Business immigration pathways ask applicants to demonstrate commercial capability, verified net worth, and a credible plan to establish or acquire an operating business in Canada—and, at present, they ask something else too: knowing which routes are actually open.
OVERVIEW
Commercial Substance Meets Regulatory Alignment
Business streams are assessed by officers who examine whether a proposed venture is genuine, viable, and of real economic benefit—not merely whether documentation has been assembled.
Current status matters more than usual in this category. IRCC paused new applications to the federal Start-Up Visa Program to permanent residence, along with its optional work permit route, from the start of 2026, and has kept the Self-Employed Persons Program closed to new intake since 2024, while it develops a more targeted federal entrepreneur pilot. Existing federal applications already in the queue continue to be processed under the prior rules, but new federal filings are not currently an option for most applicants. Provincial entrepreneur and investor streams—operated independently by individual provinces under their own Provincial Nominee Programs—remain the active route for most business-immigration clients today, and we assess eligibility against those directly rather than against a federal program that is not currently accepting new applicants.
We assess which stream genuinely fits your capital, experience, and sector, then coordinate the business plan, net worth verification, and any performance agreement obligations that follow.

SCOPE OF SERVICE
How We Support This Pathway
Current Program Status & Stream Eligibility Assessment
Before anything else, confirmation of what is actually open to new applicants at the time you engage us—federal business-immigration policy has changed materially and is expected to change again, and we will not advise you toward a route that is closed.
Provincial Entrepreneur & Investor Streams
Assessment against active provincial entrepreneur and investor categories, based on your capital, management experience, and intended sector, including the province-specific interview and business establishment requirements that typically follow nomination.
Business Plan Coordination
Coordination of a business plan that meets the specific evaluation criteria of the chosen stream—market analysis, job creation, capital deployment, and operational timelines.
Net Worth & Source of Funds
Preparation of verified net worth documentation and a traceable source-of-funds narrative supported by financial records and, where required, third-party verification.
Performance Agreements & Compliance
Advisory on entrepreneur-stream performance agreements, ongoing reporting obligations, and the milestones typically required to convert a provisional work permit into nomination or permanent residence.
