Why is it a smart choice?
No advanced language skills required and no age restrictions
The required language score for this pathway is IELTS 4 General, with no need for advanced language skills or difficult tests. Additionally, in some provinces, this pathway is open without any age restrictions.
Obtaining permanent residency in Canada for family members
Through this immigration pathway, you can obtain permanent residency in Canada for yourself, your spouse, and your children.
Fast track with clear timing
In the entrepreneurial immigration pathway, your application is reviewed and decided within 6 months. Upon approval of your business plan, a two-year closed work permit will be issued to you. After one year of successful operation and employing at least two local workers, you can obtain permanent residency in Canada.
Ability to work in your field of expertise
Whether you own a supermarket or pharmacy in Iran, or work as a financial manager in an industrial company or an executive manager on a construction project, you can start the same or a related business in Canada and obtain permanent residency.
100% ownership of the business
Unlike many immigration investment pathways, in this method your capital is invested in purchasing valuable assets, and the business you establish is entirely owned by you. After obtaining permanent residency, you can keep the business or sell it, and move anywhere within Canada.
Flexible investment options
Depending on the varying requirements of different Canadian provinces, you can choose an investment amount ranging from CAD 100,000 to 200,000. This flexibility makes this pathway one of the most affordable and reliable investment immigration options.
