Business Visa

Macroglobal Overseas offers both businesses and professionals tailored solutions to take thorough advantage of the Canadian market.
Canada provides a rich entrepreneurial environment and welcomes anyone who wants to come to the country to establish a business or invest in the economy. The objective of the Business Visa is to attract business persons with sufficient experience and assets to contribute to Canada’s strong and prosperous economy. Thus Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) selects business immigrants based on their ability to become economically established in Canada.
For many years now Canada has been welcoming business immigrants who have the resources to invest or establish businesses in Canada. Business immigrants, who represent nearly 8% of total immigrants, include investors, entrepreneurs and self-employed immigrants. Selection criteria vary for each category.

Canada has three categories of Business Immigration:

Investors Class
Entrepreneurs Class
Self-employed Class

Investors
CIC selects experienced business persons with a minimum net worth of 800,000 CAD. Immigrants in this class must make an investment of 400,000 CAD.
In the Invest Program, applicants make their $400,000 investment to the Receiver General for Canada, and after the five-year holding period they returns the investor’s the $400,000 without interest. more…
