Startup Visa Program

Obtaining a Start-Up Visa in Canada requires support from an incubator, angel investor, or venture capital firm. This will require a solid, concise, and enticing Start-Up Visa business plan. Hatch’s team of immigration professionals have the experience to ensure your business plan draws the attention it deserves.

The Start-up Visa program is aimed for international entrepreneurs that have an innovative idea. To be eligible for the start-up visa program, you must:

Have a qualifying business
Get a letter of support from a designated organization
Have a minimum of CLB (Canadian Language Benchmark) level 5 as your language proficiency result
Provide Proof of minimal funds

Provincial Entrepreneur Program

Provincial Entrepreneur programs will usually require senior management experience, a proven net worth and liquid funds to invest in Canada. The amount of funds required starts from only CAD$100,000.00 (One Hundred thousand Canadian dollars). In addition to the investment, you must prove that your business is going to be viable, and commit to employ at least one Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada. In most programs, you are also required to present a minimal level of proficiency in either English or French. There are many options available for you to select, depending on the province you chose to apply, type of business and investment you are looking into making.

Our team can assist you with assessing your eligibility, answering all your questions and preparing your immigration plan so that you can increase your chances of success.
