Register a Business and Get a Work Permit

💠 One of the programs that has received a lot of attention these days is obtaining a two-year work visa by registering a company and creating employment in Canada.
💠 Due to the difficulty of residence conditions, the lack of business programs with reasonable prices and the rise in the price of the dollar, the vacancy of such programs is felt in the Canadian immigration system, and these reasons are enough for this program to be in the center of attention.

💢 In this program, you can get a work permit in Canada by buying or creating a business.
💢 Naturally, it is easier to buy a business. But note that good businesses are expensive and those offered at low prices will not be trusted.
💢 Buying or creating a job each has advantages and disadvantages. For example, you have to pay a lot of money to buy a good business. Instead, working conditions will be easier. Creating a job also has the advantage that since it is under your control from the beginning, you are aware of its details and do not take any risk to buy. Although you should note that in this method, your side costs may be higher.

⭕️ In general, the path of this program:

✅ Buy or create a business
✅ Issuing a job offer
✅ Obtaining LMIA approval
✅ Obtaining Work Permit
✅ Participation in the Express Entry program or one of the provincial programs
✅ Application for permanent residence

⁉️ But there are explanations about this program that you need to know:

1- This is not an immigration program, and it cannot be considered like the provincial entrepreneurship or professional programs. In fact, this program can be considered a combination of several programs.
2- This program will not become a permanent residence by itself. In order to apply for permanent residence after obtaining a work visa, in addition to proving the company’s activity, other factors must also be checked, which requires a detailed analysis of the applicant’s conditions.
3- The work visa of the applicant in this program is only exclusive to the company that has been established and is not actually a free work visa. Although the applicant’s spouse can apply for a free work visa.
4- There is no requirement of profitability or minimum investment for the registered company to obtain a work visa. You can get a work permit by presenting a strong business plan and proving the management of the applicant and other acceptable documents.
5- Of course, receiving a tourist visa and transferring capital to Canada is one of the necessary and important conditions for this program. The amount of transferred capital depends on the type of work and business that you intend to buy or create.
6- Naturally, if the extension of the work visa is necessary after two years, it may be requested to provide the report of the company’s performance and the reasons for requesting the extension of the visa.
7- In order to apply for this work visa, having a valid business or showing the management of a business as a work record, as well as proof of sufficient assets, is required.
8- With this visa, your children’s education in Canadian schools will be free.

9- The most important part of the job is to get a positive LMIA for Knock 00 or the senior manager. In most cases, this request may be opposed or agreed with one of the 0 knocks. The difference is in the amount of points that are given to you in the Express Entry program. Paying attention to this section is very, very important.
10- And finally, this program is very good and suitable for those who really intend to work and invest in Canada. Definitely, by issuing a management job offer (on the condition of getting LMIA) and if necessary, having one year of Canadian work experience in this field and also providing the required language certificate (according to the applicant’s conditions), you can apply for the Express Entry program and receive PR.

🟣 The presence of one person in your case who has Canadian residency or citizenship is required in some provinces. Therefore, if you have someone in Canada who can accompany you, the situation will be much smoother for you.

🟣🔴🟣 This program requires a Canadian visitor visa. If you do not have a visa, you must first apply for a visitor visa.
