Immigration Pathways
Before initiating a file, a candidate’s pathway is determined by their business model, net worth, and target location.
Pathway 1: Provincial Entrepreneur Programs (PNP)
1. Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI): Step 1.
Register a business concept and profile based on net worth, management experience, and proposed investment amount.
2. Establish the Business on a Work Permit: Step 2.
Once invited, sign a Business Performance Agreement with the province to receive a temporary work permit supporting local establishment.
3. Transition to Permanent Residency: Step 3.
After actively operating the business on-site and fulfilling all investment and job creation targets, receive a formal provincial nomination to apply for PR.
Pathway 2: C11 Significant Benefit Pathway (Federal alternative)
1. Incorporate a Canadian Entity: Step 1.
Establish a Canadian business structure where the applicant maintains a controlling interest (minimum 50-51%).
2. Secure a C11 LMIA-Exempt Work Permit: Step 2.
Apply for a work permit by demonstrating how the proposed venture provides significant economic, social, or cultural benefit to Canada.
3. Leverage Corporate Seniority for PR: Step 3.
Once the business is actively operating, use the executive position to claim Arranged Employment points under Express Entry or transition through a provincial stream.
