From Pakistan to Canada: PR Through Business Immigration in 20 months.

In August 2024, our Client (a Pakistani national) and her family were granted permanent residency in Canada. Their journey to Canadian permanent residency, starting in December 2022, reflects the client’s dedication, hard work, and careful decision-making. This story highlights how she used her skills, $150,000 capital and experience to build a new life in Canada.

Background Information

Our Client has over 20 years of experience in sales and marketing, particularly in the healthcare industry. Originally from Pakistan, she lived in Dubai, UAE, with her spouse and two children. Wanting to move to Canada to start her own business, she decided to find a business that matched her skills and had a budget of CAD $150,000.

Immigration Process

Our relationship with the Client began in 2022 when she approached us to help with her original application to come to Canada as an entrepreneur. We worked closely with her to identify a business opportunity that not only fit her background in sales and marketing but also had the potential to meet the requirements for her immigration journey.

After extensive research, our Client invested in acquiring a franchise focused on marketing and promotional services in Mississauga, Ontario. We worked closely with the Client to ensure that this business opportunity was a sound investment, aligned with her skills, and could support her future immigration goals.

In December 2022, IRCC granted the Client’s work permit application as an entrepreneur. Subsequently, she arrived in Canada to launch and operate her new business. By December 2023, she became eligible to apply for permanent residency. Our team provided ongoing assistance throughout the process, facilitating the submission of her Express Entry profile in March 2024 and her formal application for permanent residency on April 25, 2024. IRCC approved her application in August 2024, a remarkably short period of less than four months since our team’s submission.

Why She Was Successful?

This Client’s success resulted from making the right choices and having the proper support. By selecting a business that matched her strengths in marketing and sales, she generated $143,000 in gross sales during her first year and hired her first employee. 

In addition, she always complied with the conditions of her work permit, further strengthening her application for permanent residency. This achievement was a testament not only to her hard work but also to careful planning and strategic decision-making.

We are honoured to have contributed to her journey and congratulate her on achieving permanent residency. We wish her continued success in Canada.
