A PATH TO PERMANENT RESIDENCE

Canada’s immigration system favours individuals who have secured job offers from Canadian employers.  While obtaining a job offer may be difficult, individuals may create their own job offer through the purchase of an existing business or by developing a new company in Canada. In most cases after completing at least 12 months of work in Canada, applicants may apply to become permanent residents.

Our team of Canadian business immigration experts will guide you through the process of business creation or purchase, work permit applications and permanent residence for the entire family.
