Canada residence permit

Flag Icon

Canada, is a vast and diverse country located in North America. It is the second-largest country in the world by total area, spanning from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and reaching northward into the Arctic Ocean.

The name "Canada" originates from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word "kanata," meaning "village" or "settlement." This term was first used by Indigenous peoples and later adopted by European explorers to refer to the land.

Canada is renowned for its breathtaking natural landscapes, including the Rocky Mountains, Niagara Falls, Banff National Park, and the vast boreal forests. The country is also home to modern architectural landmarks such as the CN Tower in Toronto, the Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and the Habitat 67 complex in Montreal.

Cultural diversity is one of Canada's defining characteristics. It is a bilingual nation, with English and French as its official languages. Canada is also a cultural mosaic, welcoming people from all over the world and celebrating various traditions, festivals, and cuisines.

Canadian cuisine reflects the country’s multicultural heritage. Traditional dishes such as poutine, butter tarts, and bannock share the table with global flavors brought by immigrants. Maple syrup, one of Canada’s iconic exports, is deeply tied to the nation’s identity.

Canada is a member of the G7, NATO, and the United Nations, where it plays a significant role in global peacekeeping efforts. The country is also a founding member of the Commonwealth and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, emphasizing its historical ties to Britain and France.

The geography of Canada is as varied as its culture. The country is divided into ten provinces and three territories, each offering unique landscapes and climates. From the tundra of the Arctic to the temperate rainforests of British Columbia, Canada's natural diversity is unparalleled. The climate ranges from polar in the far north to temperate in the south, with four distinct seasons experienced across most of the country.

The Canadian Economy

Economically, Canada is among the top ten largest economies in the world, known for its robust natural resource sector, including forestry, mining, and energy production. It is also a leader in technology, healthcare, and education, attracting international students and professionals seeking opportunities.

Canada's progressive policies, high standard of living, and commitment to inclusivity make it a desirable destination for travelers, immigrants, and investors alike. Its reputation as a peaceful, safe, and welcoming country continues to grow, ensuring its place as one of the most respected nations in the world.

Canadian Regional Business Immigration (CRBI)

  • Several active provincial programs, each with its own thresholds and regional incentives.
  • Nomination based on performance — residency is awarded for proven business results.
  • Real ownership, real operations — designed for active operators, not passive investors.
  • Lower investment thresholds available outside major metropolitan areas.
  • Broad participant profile: founders, managers, franchise operators, farm investors, graduates.

Who CRBI is for

  • Experienced business owners ready to relocate and actively manage.
  • Senior managers transitioning to business ownership.
  • Franchise operators (single or multiple units) and buyers of existing businesses.
  • Qualified university graduates already managing a local business.
  • Farm investors and agricultural operators.

Where the program operates

British Columbia

The only CRBI program with a dedicated "Strategic Projects" category, specifically designed for expanding a business into the Canadian market from abroad.

Alberta

Canada's most flexible CRBI platform: four separate programs and the lowest minimum investment threshold in the country, starting at 50,000 CAD.

Manitoba

Home to Canada's only entrepreneur pathway with no net worth requirement, available exclusively to international graduates already managing a registered business in Manitoba.

Nova Scotia

One of the shortest timelines in CRBI — approximately 30 months — with a lower investment threshold compared to most comparable provincial programs.

Newfoundland and Labrador

Uniquely accepts up to 1 million CAD in business equity as an alternative to cash investment — a key advantage for operators with significant assets but limited liquid capital.

Yukon

A clearly defined single-stream program targeting six strategic sectors in a rapidly growing territorial economy with strong government support for entrepreneurs.

Northwest Territories

The only program on the CRBI platform that includes a mandatory exploratory visit prior to application and an in-person government interview stage.

(Program offerings, quotas, and criteria are subject to provincial discretion and may change monthly)

Our role includes:

  • Facilitating the purchase of or investment in a business
  • Developing a business concept aligned with provincial policy
  • Structuring the capital investment
  • Preparing the performance agreement
  • Monitoring compliance after arrival
  • Managing documentation for nomination verification

Start-Up Visa (Application intake currently suspended)

The Start-Up Visa is suited for entrepreneurs looking to launch an innovative business in Canada.

Applicants establish a startup and create jobs.

The Start-Up Visa is available not only to the entrepreneur but also to a team of up to five people. Moreover, each team member must hold at least 10% of the company's voting shares.

Permanent residence is granted for life. The resident card is renewed every five years.

To maintain status, you must spend at least 730 days in Canada over a five-year period. After three years of permanent residency, the entrepreneur may apply for Canadian citizenship.

Startups work with business incubators, venture capital funds, and angel investors. Incubators are typically approached with a startup idea, angel investor groups support entrepreneurs in developing an MVP, and venture capital funds invest in established businesses.

The decisive factor for me in my decision to obtain Grenadian citizenship was the possibility of a visa-free visit to Europe, where my husband and I love to come both on business trips and on vacation. Thank you One World Migration!
