CANADA VISA PROGRAM | 加拿大签证项目
ENTREPRENEURS AND THE PROVINCIAL
NOMINEE PROGRAMS – THE RULES
The provincial nominee programs are actively looking
for successful businesspeople to immigrate and to run
a business in their province. These immigrants will not
qualify for permanent resident status on the basis of
passive investments, but on the basis of holding equity
in a business and managing its operations.
• Each province has its own requirements relating to
the assets held by the applicant and the minimum
level of investment in the business in Canada. There
will generally be an assessment of the equity in the
applicant’s business in their own country.
• The applicant is required to actively participate in the
management of the business on an ongoing and
daily basis.
• The applicant is expected to have at least three
to four years of experience as a business owner or
manager.
• The business is expected to result in benefits to the
local community, a requirement most commonly met
by creating or maintaining employment for Canadian
citizens or permanent residents of Canada.
• An exploratory visit may be required for some
provinces and is advisable in all cases.
• Having adequate resources to establish a life and
enter a business. The financial thresholds vary, from
a maximum of $1.5 million Canadian dollars in assets
in the greater Toronto area to the lesser amount of
C$500,000 in Saskatchewan and C$350,000 in Manitoba.
的150万加元, 较少的是斯喀彻温省的50万加元
和马尼托巴省的35万加元。
• 向加拿大企业投资金额各异, 最高为大多伦多地
区的100万加元, 最低为马尼托巴省的10万加元。
• 大多数项目都会给申请人颁发工作许可, 只要申
请人确实进入了加拿大境内并参与了企业运营,
在两年后即可获得永久居民身份。
• 一些项目能提前给予申请人永久居民身份, 但须
满足额外条件。例如, 爱德华王子岛的申请人需
遵守托管协议条件, 并在成为加拿大永久居民后
继续满足协议条件。在大哥伦比亚地区, 企业家
需签署运营业绩协议, 并须在18到20个月内实现
所承诺的运营业绩。
