FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is A Start-Up Visa?
In order to establish a new business, Canada’s start-up visa program provides entrepreneurs the chance to immigrate to Canada.
What Is The Minimum Investment To Apply For The Start-Up Visa Program?
If the investment comes from a designated Canadian venture capital fund, you should save a minimum investment of $200,000 but if the investment comes from a designated Canadian angel investor group, you have to save a minimum investment of $75,000.
How Much Money Do You Need To Cover Living Expenses Upon Receiving Start-Up Visa Program?
It depends on how many family members will be coming with you. In several cases, the designated organization might provide you with extra money to help cover your living expenses. In order to cover your living expenses, you cannot use the investment money for your start-up business.
How Can You Get Support From A Designated Organization?
You have to get in touch with the designated organization to find out how to get its support. You also have to convince the organization that you have a business idea that is worth supporting.
Do You Have To Invest Your Money To Apply Through The Start-Up Visa?
You are not required to invest any of your money. The minimum investment needed is an investment that comes from a designated Canadian venture capital fund.
What Happens If Your Business Fails?
In case your business fails, it will not affect your permanent resident status. Not every business would succeed and this start-up visa program is designed so that the risk is shared between the private and public sectors.
What Happens If You Get Investment Support From More Than One Designated Organization?
Getting support from various designated venture capital funds is known as syndication. If you’ve syndicated support, then all investment organizations involved in the syndication should be identified. Only a single commitment certificate would be electronically sent to us and one support letter would be given to you.
