Start a Business in Canada Visa Options
For founders or business owners who want to start a business in Canada or expand an existing company. We review your plans and outline realistic immigration strategies.

Start a Business in Canada With a Visa Strategy
If your goal is to start a business in Canada, immigration must be part of your business plan. We help you align ownership, investment, and your role with possible immigration pathways, rather than treating them as separate decisions.
- Clarify your business model and role (owner, director, executive)
- Map possible visa and work permit options
- Consider future staff moves and family members

Intra-Company Transfer Canada & LMIA-Exempt Work Permits
Some companies and executives may rely on Intra-Company Transfer Canada or LMIA exempt work permit strategies rather than standard recruitment-based routes.
- Reviewing your corporate structure and relationships
- Clarifying roles, duties, and salary levels
- Planning transfers for executives and key specialists
- Integrating temporary work permits with longer-term pathways
Not every case qualifies. We review your situation before recommending any LMIA-exempt or intra-company strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, you will need to establish a Canadian presence before transferring employees. This could involve setting up a branch, subsidiary, or other legal entity. We review your business structure, timing, and immigration goals before recommending the best employee visa strategy.
An employee visa pathway is focused on a specific job and employer. It requires a genuine job offer and compliance with Canadian work permit regulations. In contrast, investor or founder options, such as the Start-up Visa Program, are designed for entrepreneurs and business owners. These routes emphasize business ownership, investment capital, and a strong business plan that demonstrates innovation and economic benefit to Canada. The right choice depends on whether your primary role is operational as an employee or strategic as an owner or investor.
Sometimes this is possible, provided the company structure, your role, and compliance requirements are properly aligned. We carefully review these factors before recommending this approach to ensure it meets Canadian immigration standards.
Yes. We can guide you through the Start-up Visa Program and other entrepreneurial pathways, explaining where they fit into your broader immigration and business strategy and what documentation and evidence will be required for approval.
Absolutely. We frequently assist with coordinated relocation strategies for key staff, future hires, and their families. This includes work permits, compliance planning, and family visa options to ensure a smooth transition for everyone involved.
