Benefits
Applying for Canadian
visas of this kind constitutes a route to settlement in Canada, and accordingly, confers
permanent residence status upon successful applicants.
No time restrictions
are placed upon a business visa for this route as is the case with temporary
immigration services such as the Canadian visit visa.
As permanent
residents, candidates will receive the same rights and privileges as Canadian
citizens with the exception of the right to vote.
Beyond permanent
residency, after three years in Canada,
applicants may be able to pursue a grant of Canadian citizenship.
Eligibility Criteria
In Canada, immigration applications of
this type do not require a minimum net
worth to be demonstrated. However, it is necessary to satisfy an entry
clearance officer that you have sufficient capital to settle yourself and your
family and to carry out your proposal.
Migration to Canada
for the purpose of self-employment requires applicants to be able to contribute
to cultural or athletic activities or to purchase
and manage a farm.
Candidates may only
apply for one type of Canadian business immigration service. Once an
application has been made, it is not permitted to switch to an alternative
route.
Points System
Applying for a
Canadian self employed visa requires a candidate to achieve the minimum pass mark on a points based
skills assessment.
Candidates are
assessed according to their business experience, educational achievements, age
and language proficiency, and must achieve a score of 35 or more points.
Business Experience
Business experience
gained in the five years directly prior to an application being submitted is
worth between 20 and 35 points.

of this kind receive 5-25 points for a candidate's level of education. Points
are awarded based on an applicant's highest academic qualification and the
amount of time spent in education.

for Canadian migration allows a successful applicant to become a permanent
Canadian resident and as such, points are awarded for proficiency in either
French or English, the official languages of Canada.
In cases where a
candidate is skilled in both languages, they should select one to be their
"first language". The points system awards a maximum of four points
for the first language and two points for the second in each of the four
assessed ability areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

area)

to those aged between 21 and 49. For each year outside this range, two
points are deducted with no points available to those aged less than 17 or more
than 53.
Adaptability to life in Canada
Applications for
Canadian visas through this route primarily use the same points assessment
criteria as both the immigrant investor visa and the entrepreneur visa.

of adaptability, a different system is employed which takes into account

Why Self Employed Visa to Canada
The Canadian Self Employed Immigration
program is part of the Canadian Business Immigration program, along with the
Canadian Investor program and the Canadian Entrepreneur Immigrant program. As a
business visa, the Self Employed Visa provides qualifying applicants with
permanent residency upon approval for the visa. And if you are interested in
becoming a citizen of Canada
it only takes three years as a permanent resident to qualify you for
application for Canadian citizenship.
Like the other business visas, the Self Employed
Visa does not impose any limitations on you in regards to requiring you to have
a specific offer of employment. In fact, the Self Employed Visa allows you to
set up your business anywhere you would like to in the country.
Unlike the other business visas, you do not have
to show proof of a minimum amount of net worth for the Self Employed Visa.
However, you do have to show that you have access to a sufficient amount of
liquid capital that you can use to settle yourself in Canada and use to start up whatever type of
business that you have planned on starting in Canada. An additional requirement
that must be met for the Self Employed Visa is that you must be able to
contribute to some athletic or cultural activities or be able and willing to
purchase and manage a farm in Canada.
If you are applying for immigration under the
Canadian Self Employed Immigration program you should be prepared to take a
skills assessment where point values are assigned to your answers. This program
is similar to that of the other business visas, the Canadian Skilled Worker
visa program and the United
Kingdom's Highly Skilled Migrant program. In
order to qualify under the skills assessment, all applicants must meet the
minimum threshold and obtain a passing mark of at least 35.
Items that will be questioned and given
a point value on the skills assessment are your business experience, your
educational background and level achieved your proficiency in the English and
French languages, your age and your level of perceived adaptability to life in Canada. If you
are making a joint application with a spouse or partner you are also give
points based on their education level. You are given bonus points if you have
studied in Canada, worked in
Canada or have family
members currently living in Canada.
If approved for the Self Employed Visa you will be
able to bring over a spouse or partner and any dependant children under the age
of 22 to Canada
with you.
