What Is the Start-Up Visa Program?

The Start-Up Visa Program allows foreign entrepreneurs to gain permanent residence in Canada by launching a business that is innovative, job-creating, and globally scalable. Unlike most immigration streams, the SUV is built around your business idea — not a job offer or points system.

You must have:

check A qualifying business
check A letter of support from a designated organization (incubator, angel group, or VC)
check Proficiency in English or French
check Enough funds to settle in Canada

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about building and validating your startup in Canada.

service

Yes! While your PR is in process, your spouse can apply for an open work permit and your children can study with a study permit — so you can all start life in Canada immediately.

No. As long as your startup receives a letter of support and meets eligibility requirements, PR status isn’t tied to your revenue or business outcome.

You’ll receive an open work permit while waiting for PR. That means you can work for any employer or build your business during the process.

It typically takes between 18 to 30 months from start to finish — from signing an agreement with us, to securing a letter of support from a designated organization, to finally receiving your permanent residency. (Subject to change based on IRCC processing timelines and designated organization response rates.)

Yes — but it doesn’t have to be fully developed. We’ll help you refine and validate it for IRCC and designated organization alignment.

It’s an endorsement issued by a designated Canadian incubator, angel group, or venture capital firm. You must have one to apply for PR under SUV.

It's generally not recommended to apply to multiple at the same time. Each organization expects a tailored pitch. We help you find the right fit and prepare for a successful match.

Not necessarily. Many designated organizations focus more on innovation and potential than immediate profitability. A strong business plan, market insight, and founder credibility matter more.

There’s no set minimum, but you do need enough funds to support your settlement and business activities. We help you plan realistically and present a financially viable case.
