Detalles del programa

Program Closed: The Canada Start-Up Visa program was discontinued on December 19, 2025.

The program required venture capital funding, angel investment, or acceptance by an approved business incubator. It offered a direct path to permanent residency for entrepreneurs with innovative business ideas.

Applicants who received commitment certificates before the closure deadline must complete their applications by June 30, 2026. Processing times were extensive, averaging 52 months.

Alternative: The Quebec Investor Program remains available, requiring CAD 1M in investment capital plus a CAD 200K government contribution. Applicants should verify current requirements as the program has limited annual intake.
