Leading Residence by Investment Programs

Canada

Residence by Investment

The Canada Start-Up Visa offers a route to Permanent Residence in the North American country.

The Canada Start-Up Visa has historically offered foreign entrepreneurs a pathway to Canadian permanent residence through the creation of an innovative business supported by a Canadian Government-designated organization.  The program is now closed to most new applicants, but Latitude has access to a limited number of remaining opportunities connected to previously secured program capacity. For suitable entrepreneurs seeking Canada residence by investment, this may represent one of the final chances to pursue Canadian permanent residence through the Start-Up Visa route before the program changes.
