A Temporary Resident Visa may still be required by Business visitors to enter Canada and all business visitors must declare the purpose of their visit at the port of entry to be admitted.

The Provincial Nominee Program for Entrepreneurs encourages provinces, except Quebec, to create and manage their own immigration selection according to their own specific provincial priorities. The Quebec Immigration Investor Program allows experienced individuals to immigrate to Canada and settle in Quebec. Most of the PNPs have at least one entrepreneur or investor visa category dedicated to people who would like to expand or start their business in Canada.

The Start-up Visa Program is one of the best pathways for investors who do not partake in the Canadian economy. This option allows an individual to immigrate to Canada by starting a business anywhere in the country. Applicants must meet certain criteria under this program which include: operating a qualified business, language skills in English and French, and a letter of support from a designated institution that demonstrates a specific amount of capital i.e Venture Capital Firms ($200,000 investment) or Angel Investor Groups ($75,000 investment. The applicant must also prove they have sufficient funds to support themselves in Canada.
