In order to obtain a state or territory business visa in Canada, you will need to follow a few steps, complete forms, and provide the necessary requirements. Canada has a Federal Business Entrepreneur Program that allows prospective investors to immigrate to the country provided they meet the requirements. Below are the qualifications needed to get a business Canada visa.

The first requirement in applying for the Federal Business Entrepreneur Program is a minimum net worth of CAN $300,000. You will also have to show evidence of your business experience. You must also commit to managing and owning at the least a third of the proposed business for one year upon entering the country. Another qualification needed to obtain the business visa is to meet the regulatory definition of an entrepreneur.

Canada has designed a selection grid to determine your being economically established in the country. As long as you score at least 35 points from their grid, you may be eligible to obtain a business visa. The business must be in operation for at least five years. Aside from that, you must be in control of a large percentage of equity for at least two years.

If you are an investor applying for a Canada business visa, a minimum net worth of CAN $800,000 is a requirement. You will also need to make an investment of CAN $400,000 to be used by the Provinces or Territories to boost the economy of the country. It will be returned to the investor after 5 years with no interest. You will need to have control of a large equity share within the last two years upon application of a Canadian visa.
