Self Employed Immigration Business Application
Attracting self employed business entrepreneurs to immigrate to Canada has always been part of Canada’s economic growth strategy. Canada offers various business applications for immigration to Canada. Self-Employed business individuals from foreign lands can immigrate to Canada to conduct business and become permanent residents by first initiating a self-employed business application. Citizenship and Immigration Canada has defined a self-employed foreign national as having relevant experience only in cultural activities, athletics, and farm management.
The candidate will find that the Canadian self-employed immigration category is aimed at applicants who have the plan and capability to successfully start up a business in Canada, in one of the 3 sectors; cultural activities, athletics, and farm management. They need certain requirements to qualify:
- Noteworthy experience that will make a sizeable contribution to the cultural or athletic life of Canada or
- Knowledge and experience in farm management, with the intention and ability to purchase and run a farm in Canada.
- The ability to comply with health, security and other requirements.
Can I move my business to Canada?

You can also decide to immigrate into a particular province, and open a business there, and provided you meet the province’s requirements, such as net worth, investment amount into the business, the province will nominate you, for immigration to this province, and the proper Canadian Embassy will issue a permanent resident visa, to you and family members, if you qualify.
