Business & Investor Immigration
Business immigration involves commercial judgment, regulatory awareness, and a clear understanding of how immigration strategy connects with ownership, investment, operations, and long-term settlement plans.

Business Immigration and Investment Pathways to Canada
At Ebzcan Immigration Solutions, we help clients develop business immigration strategies that are credible, practical, and aligned with current program realities.
Canada continues to offer selected business-related immigration options for applicants who can contribute to economic growth, job creation, and regional development. Depending on the pathway, applicants may need to demonstrate business or management experience, investment capacity, language ability, settlement funds, and a genuine intention to establish or actively manage a qualifying business in Canada.
Our role is to help clients assess these options carefully, understand the legal and documentary requirements, and build a strategy that connects immigration planning with real business objectives. This may involve pathway selection, business concept refinement, evidence planning, provincial process guidance, and coordination of work permit or permanent residence steps where available.
Whether you are launching a new venture, acquiring an existing business, or exploring provincial entrepreneur streams, we help identify an immigration strategy that supports both your commercial goals and your long-term plans in Canada.
Innovation stream
Start-Up Visa (SUV) program
Canada’s Start-Up Visa Program is currently paused to new applicants. As of 2026, only applicants with a valid 2025 commitment certificate who apply within the permitted timeline may still proceed. Because this program has changed significantly, business clients should obtain current guidance before relying on it as a primary pathway.
We help clients determine whether they may qualify under transitional Start-Up Visa rules or whether a provincial entrepreneur stream or another business immigration strategy is more appropriate for their circumstances.
Where a federal innovation pathway is paused or restricted, our role is to help you evaluate substitute strategies rather than relying on outdated assumptions.
Most entrepreneur pathways involve a two-step process. Applicants are initially issued a temporary work permit to establish or operate their business and may later be nominated for permanent residence after meeting program conditions.
We provide strategic guidance on program selection, business proposal development, document preparation, provincial applications, and permanent residence processing following nomination.
Regional growth
Provincial entrepreneur pathways
Many provinces and territories operate entrepreneur streams through their Provincial Nominee Programs. These pathways are generally intended for experienced business owners or senior managers who plan to establish, purchase, or actively manage a business in a particular province and meet local program criteria.
Each province sets its own requirements relating to net worth, investment amount, business experience, language ability, location, and job creation. Many streams involve an exploratory stage, a business proposal, a temporary work permit period, and nomination for permanent residence after conditions are met.
We help clients assess provincial fit, refine business concepts, prepare supporting evidence, and navigate the process from early planning through nomination and permanent residence steps where applicable.

Creative talent
Self-employed persons program
The federal Self-Employed Persons Program is currently paused. Historically, it applied to individuals with relevant experience in cultural activities or athletics who could make a significant contribution to Canada’s cultural or athletic life. Because intake is paused, applicants should seek updated advice on alternative pathways that may better support their goals.
Where a paused or restricted program is not available, we help clients explore substitute federal or provincial options that may better align with their experience, business model, or settlement plans in Canada.
Program availability can change, so sound business immigration planning should always be based on current official rules rather than historical assumptions.
Applicants must demonstrate both relevant experience and the intention to continue their activities in Canada in a way that benefits the country culturally or athletically.
We assist with eligibility assessments, evidence gathering, portfolio preparation, and the submission of a complete and well-documented application.
