Are you entrepreneurs/business people/start-up founders with a dream of coming to Canada to develop your business idea?
The Start-Up Visa Program is a program designed to facilitate entrepreneurs from abroad who wish to establish a new business in a particular country, often in countries like Canada, by providing visas for innovative businesses. This program allows entrepreneurs to establish a startup in the country and obtain a work permit or visa, with the aim of promoting technological or innovative businesses that produce solutions in the business, social, or technological fields.
For example, in Canada’s startup program, entrepreneurs can apply for a visa if they can prove that their businesses show potential for global growth, and they have financial backing from a recognized framework (such as investors or technology incubators).
The advantage of this program is that startups can benefit from a comfortable working environment in the country, while promoting entrepreneurship and innovation.
So perhaps the Start-Up Visa Program is the program for you!
One of the ways to pursue this path is with the support of business incubators in Canada. Participation in incubators does not guarantee the receipt of a letter of support for the program, but it is certainly the most important and significant step to take a big step forward.
Of course, with the right tools, guidance, creativity, and innovation, along with proper investment and motivation, you too can succeed.
So what exactly is a business incubator, or as it’s also called, a “greenhouse”?
The business incubator is designed to support, inspire, refine, and provide the right tools that will lead to the growth and success of early-stage business ventures, using vast knowledge, broad and strong business connections in diverse industries, finding the right investors, and assisting in raising funds and grants.
In incubators associated with the immigration program through the START UP PROGRAM, in addition to refining the idea and bringing it to a stage where it can receive a letter of support, there is an additional focus on learning and clarifying how businesses and startups, in particular, operate in Canada.
The incubator for the START UP VISA program takes place intensively in a classroom setting for two consecutive weeks. The incubators in the program are authorized and recognized bodies by the Canadian authorities that can grant a letter of support based on a business idea so that the candidate in the program, their family, and their business partners can receive permanent resident status and move to Canada almost immediately.
Most incubators take place in Canada and last for two weeks – but you’ll be surprised to know that there are also incubators that come all the way to Israel and conduct their special training right here.
You’ll be even more surprised to know that in the START UP VISA program:
- Up to 5 families can be included under one innovative business idea!
