Tip: Don’t print everything as this document is extremely large. Print only what you need. Good luck with this process. Finding free support
- Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s (CIC) phone number: 1-888-242-2100. Note: This number is only for people inside of Canada. You could try to use a rerouting service if you cannot get hold of someone through an embassy or consulate.
- Calling the government outside of Canada – Click here. This may or may not be helpful as many embassies and consulates may not be very responsive.
- CIC’s Website: www.cic.gc.ca - Need a question answered for free? Post a question on our Forum and get an answer within 1-2 business days. – Click here
Tips! - Any information older than 2 years in considered old when it comes to government procedures - Have realistic executions, just because it happed this way with one person does not mean it will happen the same way with you. A good
example would be “The application took me only 1 month to get approved.” - Be careful from self-promoting or fear mongering or offers that appear too good to be true. The more research you do the better your
decision making will be - Sometimes you can get great information and support on forums. Do a search and find a forum related to your country or situation.

Tips! When dealing with a paid representative remember to ask the following question before paying:
- How many years have you been in business? - How many application of this type have you filed in the past year? - How many application of this type in the past year have failed? - (if applicable) How experienced are you dealing with (example only) the Canadian Embassy in Vienna? - How are you licensed? (Law society, ICCRC, etc)
Doing your own research:
- Does the lawyer or consultant have a good reputation within your community? - Research the name of the firm online: what are people saying? Remember not everyone has an online presence but some basic results
should be there.
Complicated application? We strongly encourage you to do lots of reading especially if you are considering doing this process yourself. Get online and find topics related to you situation.
Simple application? Just read the instructions; make copies of your application (you never know) and send it by courier to the government (this lets you know when your application was delivered) and, finally, keep detailed notes (avoid a he said, she said situation). Why Use Immigroup • We care about our success rate. We take our reputation very personally. For example, in 10 years in business we have had 1sponsorship application fail and that client knew what he was facing before he paid. That means our success rate on spousal sponsorships, as of today, is over 99%. We refuse to take on any applicant that has no chance of success. To find out our success rate for other services we offer, call us at 416-962-2623. • We are the industry leader in overseas marriage and sponsorship, and we have the widest range of immigration and travel documentation services in Canada. • The government states it is neural when dealing with a personally filed application or one submitted by a representative. But we know reputation matters. We have set a standard of expectations with CIC officers for our applications. Your paid representative should be helping you not hurting you. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We are never too busy to help. Thanks and good luck on your journey -IMMIgroup

Before You Apply
Permanent Residence under the Business Immigration Program
The Business Immigration Program
Canada welcomes successful business people who are seeking new opportunities and challenges.
The Business Immigration Program is designed to encourage and facilitate the admission of these
individuals. Both the federal and provincial/territorial governments welcome business immigrants and
offer services to help immigrants start a business and settle in Canada.
Types of Business Immigrants
Canada has four classes of business immigrants:
start-up business,
investors ,
entrepreneurs, and
self-employed persons.
This guide will help you to apply under the Start-up Business Class. Please read carefully the
definitions and the instructions below.
What is a start-up business?
A new business intended to be operated in Canada which has received a commitment from a
designated angel investor group, venture capital fund or business incubator.
Start-up Business Definitions
Designated angel investor group/venture capital fund/business incubator
An entity designated by the Minister as eligible to issue commitments under the Start Up Business
program. Consult the full list (/english/immigrate/business/start-up/eligibility/entities.asp).
Qualifying business
A business that will operate in Canada and is, or will be, incorporated in Canada. Specific
requirements related to percentage of ownership will be identified by the Minister and may change
from time to time.
Qualified participant
A person who has been issued a permanent residence document based on their application as a
member of the Start Up Business class
Or
A designated angel investor group
Or
A designated venture capital fund.
Essential person
A person who is considered to be essential to the business and who has been identified as essential
by the designated angel investor group or venture capital fund on the commitment certificate and
Letter of Support.
Commitment
An agreement between an applicant and a designated angel investor network, venture capital fund or
business incubator.
Commitment Certificate
A commitment sent electronically to CIC from the designated angel investor group, venture capital fund
or business incubator.
Letter of Support
A letter given to the applicant by the designated angel investor group, venture capital fund or business
incubator.
Do you intend to reside in Quebec?
Individuals who intend to reside in Quebec are not eligible to apply under the Start-up Business Class.
Under the Canada-Quebec Accord on Immigration, Quebec establishes its own immigration
requirements and selects immigrants who will adapt well to living in Quebec. If you intend to come to
Canada as a Quebec-selected permanent resident, you must first contact the Ministère de
l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles (MICC) at: www.micc.gouv.qc.ca/fr/index.asp
(http://www.micc.gouv.qc.ca/fr/index.asp) (in French only).
You may also consult our website (/english/immigrate/quebec/index.asp) for more information.
Stay informed
Selection criteria, requirements and other information for applicants can sometimes change. Please
note that:
Applications will be processed according to the rules and regulations in effect at the time of the
application. These may change at any time.
Our website (/english/immigrate/business/index.asp) contains the latest news, selection criteria
updates and applications links. Check periodically for updated information.
Eligibility criteria
For your application to be eligible for processing, you must:
have received a Letter of Support from a designated entity
AND
meet the language requirements
AND
meet the education requirements
AND
have sufficient settlement funds
Note: A maximum of 2,750 applications will be processed per year under the Start-up Business
Class. No more than five persons may be part of a single commitment from a designated
business entity. If your commitment has more than one person related to the business proposal,
an application for each person named in the Commitment Certificate must be received. This
means that if a husband and wife are both named in the Commitment Certificate, then an
application and supporting documents must be submitted for the husband and a separate
application with supporting documents must be submitted for the wife.
The following information will help you determine if you meet the eligibility criteria indicated above.
Note. If you do not meet all of the criteria described above, do not submit an application under the
Start-up Business Class, as your application will be refused. Check the other classes
(/english/immigrate/index.asp) to see if you satisfy their eligibility criteria.
Important information. It is important that you make a careful assessment before you apply because
certain fees, such as the processing fee, are non-refundable, even if your application is refused.
What are the requirements for applicants under the Start-up BusinessClass?
Your application to come to Canada under the Start-up Business Class will be assessed on a
pass/fail basis against four requirements. The four requirements are:
Requirement 1: Commitment from a Designated Entity
Requirement 2: Ability in English, in French or both
Requirement 3: Education
Requirement 4: Settlement Funds
If you meet all four requirements indicated above, then you may qualify to immigrate to Canada under
the Start-up Business Class.
Below are detailed descriptions of all the requirements that are to be assessed. Carefully review the
following information and then decide if you want to apply under this class.
Requirement 1: Commitment from a Designated Entity
Private sector organizations demonstrate their support of your business idea by providing you with a
Letter of Support which details the commitment they are willing to make towards your new business.
They will send further details in the form of a Commitment Certificate directly to CIC (Citizenship and
Immigration Canada) for assessment, based on the Ministerial Instructions
(/english/department/mi/index.asp).
For your application to be eligible for processing, you must have received a Letter of Support from:
a designated angel investor group confirming that it is investing at least $75,000 in a qualifying
business or two or more designated angel investor groups confirming that they are together
investing a total of at least $75,000 in such a business, or
a designated venture capital fund confirming that it is investing at least $200,000 in a qualifying
business or two or more designated venture capital funds confirming that they are together
investing a total of at least $200,000 in such a business, or
a designated business incubator which confirms that it accepting a qualifying business into its
program
What to do with the Letter of Support once you have it?
You must include your Letter of Support with your application. If you do not, your application will be
returned to you as incomplete.
Where to obtain a Letter of Support?
Consult the list (/english/immigrate/business/start-up/eligibility/entities.asp) of designated venture
capital funds, angel investor groups and business incubators.
How long is the Letter of Support valid for?
Each Letter of Support is valid for a period of six months from the date it was issued. This means that
CIC must receive your application for permanent residence under the Start-up Business Class within
six months of the Letter of Support being issued.
Requirement 2: Ability in English, in French or both
The ability to communicate and work in one or both of Canada’s official languages is very important to
you as a business immigrant. Proficiency in English, French or both will help you in the Canadian
labour market.

proficiency of at least benchmark level 5 in either official language for all four language skill areas,
as set out in the Canadian Language Benchmarks and the Niveaux de compétence linguistique
canadiens.
You will be assessed on the following language skill areas:
listening,
speaking,
reading, and
writing.
You must provide proof of your language proficiency with your application.
Proof of language proficiency
For your application to be eligible for processing, you must include original results of one of the
following language tests from a testing agency designated by CIC with your application:
English
IELTS: International English Language Testing System (General Training test only)
CELPIP: Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (General test only)
French
TEF: Test d’évaluation de français
Note. If you do not submit the original results of your official language proficiency test with your
application to the Central Intake Office (CIO), your application will not be processed and will be
returned to you as incomplete.
Your test results must not be more than two years old at the time that you submit your
application.
Official language testing
To prove your language skills, you must take a language test given by an agency that is approved by
CIC, and include the results with your application.
In order to know which language tests we accept, please refer to the following link:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/business/start-up/eligibility/language-testing.asp
(/english/immigrate/business/start-up/eligibility/language-testing.asp)
Requirement 3: Education
You must have completed at least one year of post-secondary education during which you were in

You must provide proof of having completed at least one year of post-secondary education.
You must also provide proof that you were in good standing for at least one year while you were
attending a post-secondary institution, according to the standards of the institution.
Requirement 4: Settlement funds (money required to settle in Canada)
The Government of Canada does not provide financial support to business immigrants.
You must show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family members after you
arrive in Canada. The money must be available to support the costs of living for yourself and your
family. The amount is an estimate of what you would require to support yourself and your family without
employment or other income. You cannot borrow this money from another person.
The amount of money you need to support your family is determined by the size of your family. These
amounts are updated every year. Check our website (/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp) to make
sure you have the most recent information.
You must submit proof of settlement funds with your application. If you do not, your application will not
be processed and will be returned to you as incomplete.
We strongly recommend that you research the cost of living in the region of Canada where you
intend to live. To make your establishment in Canada easier, bring as much money as possible with
you to Canada.
You should be aware that Canadian legislation requires persons entering Canada to declare cash
funds of $10,000 CDN or more. You will have to disclose these funds to a Canadian official upon
arrival. Cash funds means:
money (coins or bank notes),
securities in bearer form (stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc.), and
negotiable instruments in bearer form (bank drafts, travellers’ cheques, money orders, etc.).
Step 1. Gather Documents
What documents are required?
Use the Document Checklist) (PDF (Portable Document Format), 220 KB (Kilobyte))
(/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5760E.pdf) (IMM 5760) which you can find in this package to assist you
gathering the necessary documentation.
Important information. If any of the required documents are missing, or photocopies are not clear, your
application will be returned to you as incomplete.
Medical requirements
You and your family members, whether accompanying you or not, must undergo and pass a medical
examination in order to come to Canada. To pass the medical examination you or your family
members must not have a condition that:
is a danger to public health or safety
would cause excessive demand on health or social services in Canada.
Examples of “excessive demand” include ongoing hospitalization or institutional care for a physical or
mental illness.
Instructions
Information on medical instructions will be provided to you. When you receive your assessment
notice you will also receive medical forms for yourself (and any accompanying dependants if
applicable), instructions and how to access a list of doctors in your area who are authorized to conduct
immigration medical examinations (see below). You are not required to have a medical examination
before you submit your application forms.
Exam validity
The medical examination results are valid for 12 months from the date of the first medical examination.
If you are not admitted as a permanent resident during this time, you must undergo another complete
medical examination.
Authorized doctors
Your own doctor cannot do the medical examination. You must see a physician on Canada’s list of
Panel Physicians (http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx). Note that the physician is only responsible
for conducting a medical examination; he or she cannot give you any advice on the immigration
process.
Police certificates
You and your family members who are 18 years of age and older and are not permanent residents or
Canadian citizens must provide:
valid police certificate, or
police clearance, or
record of no information.
These documents are to be provided for each country other than Canada, in which you have lived for
six (6) consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18.
Note: If you or your family members were under 18 years of age (16 years of age in certain
jurisdictions) for the entire time you lived in a particular country, you do not need to provide a
police certificate for that country.
The certificate must have been issued no more than three (3) months prior to submitting your
application. If the original certificate is not in English or French, then you will need to submit both the
certificate and the original copy of the translation prepared by an accredited translator.
We will also do our own background checks to determine if there are grounds under which you and
your dependants may be inadmissible to Canada.
Please consult our website for specific and up-to-date information on how to obtain police certificates
from any country (/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp).
How to obtain police certificates
Step 1. Apply for certificates
It is your responsibility to contact the relevant authorities.
Certificates are usually issued by the police of the country concerned, but in some countries you will
have to apply to municipal, provincial, federal or other government authorities. The country's embassy
or consulate in Canada may be able to give additional information.
When applying for police certificates, you should include for each person:
A completed Request for Police Certificates/Clearances and Authorization for Release of
Information) (PDF (Portable Document Format), 59 KB (Kilobyte))
(/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/PC_LetterA_e.pdf) form (see Appendix A). Include
photocopies for each applicant.
A set of fingerprints, if required by the authority of the country. Your local police or RCMP may be
able to tell you where you can get fingerprints done. Take the Fingerprint Request Letter (PDF
(Portable Document Format), 56 KB (Kilobyte))
(/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/PC_LetterB_e.pdf) and your photo identification
(passport, travel document, etc.) with you when you go to get fingerprints taken. You may have to
pay a fee.
Your complete mailing address (certificates will be sent directly to you).
Step 2. Submit the certificates
Include the police certificates with your application.
If the police authorities notify you that they will submit the certificates directly to us, include this
notice with your application.
All police certificates must be originals; photocopies are not acceptable.
If your certificates are in a language other than English or French, attach an original translation
prepared by an accredited translator.
What if I cannot get the police certificates?
If you cannot get police certificates from any of the countries where you have lived, you must provide a
written explanation with your application and an original letter from the police authority confirming that
they will not issue a certificate.
Translation of documents
Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:
the English or French translation; and
an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
a certified copy of the original document.
Note: An affidavit is a document on which the translator has sworn, in the presence of a
commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the translator is living, that the
contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original
document. Translators who are certified members in good standing of one of the provincial or
territorial organizations of translators and interpreters of Canada do not need to supply an
affidavit.
Important information. Translations by family members are not acceptable.
Certified true copies
To have a photocopy of a document certified, an authorized person must compare the original
document to the photocopy and must print the following on the photocopy:
“I certify that this is a true copy of the original document”,
the name of the original document,

your application will not be given special attention nor can you expect faster processing or a
more favourable outcome;
the representative is authorized to represent you only on immigration matters related to the
application you submit with this form;
you can appoint only one (1) representative for each application you submit;
you are not obliged to hire a representative. We treat everyone equally, whether they use the
service of a representative or not.
Important information. You must notify us if your representative’s contact information changes or if
you cancel the appointment of a representative.
Types of representatives
Family, friends, and non-profit groups often help applicants who feel the need for support and advice
on immigration matters. You can appoint a representative who does not charge fees or receive any
other compensation for providing immigration advice or services to represent you before CIC
(Citizenship and Immigration Canada) or the CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency).
There are two (2) types of representatives.
Uncompensated representatives include:
friends and family members who do not, and will not, charge a fee or receive any other
consideration for their advice and services;
organizations that do not, and will not, charge a fee or receive any other consideration for
providing immigration advice or assistance (such as a non-governmental or religious
organization);
consultants, lawyers and Quebec notaries, and students-at-law under their supervision, who do
not, and will not, charge a fee or receive any other consideration to represent you.
Compensated representatives:
Compensated representatives charge a fee or receive some other form of consideration in exchange
for the advice and representation that they provide. If you want us to conduct business with a
compensated representative then they must be authorized by CIC (Citizenship and Immigration
Canada).
It is important to know that anyone who represents or advises you for payment — or offers to do so —
in connection with immigration proceedings or applications is breaking the law unless they are an
authorized representative or they have a specific agreement or arrangement with the Government of
Canada that allows them to represent or advise you. This applies to advice or consultation which
happens before or after an immigration application is made or a proceeding begins.
Authorized representatives are:
immigration consultants who are members in good standing of the Immigration Consultants of
Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC);
lawyers and paralegals who are members in good standing of a Canadian provincial or
territorial law society and students-at-law under their supervision;
notaries who are members in good standing of the Chambre des notaires du Québec and
students-at-law under their supervision.
If you appoint a compensated representative who is not a member of one of these designated bodies,
your application will be returned. For more information on using a representative, visit our website
(/english/information/representative/index.asp).
