Our Advice To Canadian Business Owners Who Embark On The Journey Of Bringing Their Business To Canada.
Are you planning to launch your business in Canada but feeling trapped by having to scale your business whilst trying to make sure that the immigration application is done correctly?
It is a lot to take on. Making mistakes on your Start-Up Visa application can not only cost you a lot of money but ruin your chances of bringing it to Canada. When my clients embark on this immigration pathway, the advice I give them is to focus on their businesses first.

That’s why we are here. We take care of the immigration part so that you can do what you do best, grow your business.
Here are my top 5 tips for startup visa success that has helped my clients:
Preparation is key:
There are many elements to the SUV program that you need to prepare and submit. Working with a business immigration expert will be crucial to your success. The application will be prepared with your help, but you will not have to devote a lot of time to the process and the administrative work needed to prepare the application.
Finding a designated entity:
Is your business ready and eligible to be backed by an IRCC-designated business entity?
You need to pinpoint entities that have a proven track record of successfully nurturing start-ups and have a comprehensive due diligence process. We recommend cultivating a strong relationship with your designated entity to ensure that they can support you throughout the journey of the start-up visa application.
Your skills as a leader of a startup venture must be demonstrated:
Ensure that your application package is comprehensive and shows that you are knowledgeable about the field in which your business operates. Everything from your education, and work experience, to actionable plans to overcome challenges, needs to be highlighted.
Writing a successful business plan is key:
A strong business plan is critical to ensure the designated organization is compelled to support your start-up business venture. Read more about How To Write An Effective Business Plan. We review these to ensure that what you put in the plan does not contradict with the Start-up visa program requirements.
Prove that you are serious about developing your business:
This program is built on the expectation that your business will be developed and enhance Canada’s economy. You need to show that you’re doing everything you can to develop your business to avoid refusal. We want to ensure that you can show that you are making progress in the Canadian venture from when you get the Start-up visa Letter of Support up until your are issued a permanent resident visa. How do you ask? By applying for a work permit.
