The Start-up Visa Program is a national immigration program designed to attract the best and brightest innovating entrepreneurs who want to build dynamic companies that can compete in global markets while creating jobs and growth in Canada. The program is intended to nurture innovative start-ups that create jobs and competitiveness, supporting foreign entrepreneurs who can demonstrate a viable potential for building scalable and competitive companies in the global market. This means that for one to qualify for a start-up visa program, an applicant must have a credible business idea that is supported by at least one designated organization. He or she must also meet language proficiency requirements, have sufficient funds to settle in Canada, and pass security and medical clearances. Those applicants who will succeed will get permanent residence, and this will offer them and their families stability to grow the business and give back to Canada’s economy.
