Our team recently achieved an excellent result for our services to one of our clients and his family. I wrote about this outstanding team effort in my LinkedIn post.
But, in this piece, I want to focus on a possible upgrade to any business owner’s global mobility. I want to focus on what benefits you could gain by becoming a Canadian business, a holder of a Canadian work permit, a permanent resident and, ultimately, a Canadian citizen – a desirable journey that many people around the world would love to take! Hiring Canadian citizens or permanent residents can also be crucial for obtaining an extra 200 points in the Express Entry system, showcasing the progress of your business operations in Canada.
First, here is a quick background of this successful application:

The basic facts:
-
The client is a businessman in his 50s and was born in Afghanistan, but worked in Iran and ultimately became a citizen of Turkey together with his family members;
-
he has a high school diploma but very rich experience in commerce and international trade;
-
we chose the C11 – Significant Benefit application as the most suitable pathway for him, taking into account all of his priorities and concerns;
-
he did not buy any business in Canada, but we’ve helped him to prepare a stellar business plan, and the client demonstrated the required skills as well as financial capital to realize his business plan;
-
the client is planning to open a production facility in Canada and sell his goods within Canada and export them to international markets, including Central Asia, Australasia, the UAE, Turkey, etc.
-
after preparing a thorough application package, we submitted his package on January 22, 2021;
-
the client and his family have provided the biometrics on January 27, 2021
-
We received a passport request from the Embassy on January 28, 2021, stating that the application has been approved.
-
It’s a positive result for the client in just 6 days! No doubt, the meticulous preparation took much, much longer!
-
The Sobirovs team has celebrated the success of this 6-day success in a Zoom call on February 1, 2021. Indeed, we are truly happy that we could achieve this for this client, as we are proud that we could open Canada’s doors to a very determined business owner!
What would a status in Canada – a work permit, permanent residence or citizenship – give you, your family and the employees of your business?
Now, let’s briefly list what our business immigration clients are really trying to achieve by making their way to Canada. I will list only 5 benefits, and you can add more based on your own business priorities. These benefits don’t necessarily exclude each other, and they change depending on the individual. There is no strict hierarchy in the list below.
-
Stability & Peace of Mind: I have spoken to hundreds if not thousands of very successful business people who have a very good status and high living standards in their home countries. Let me be clear – they are not coming to Canada for higher living standards. However, due to many reasons, they want to provide stability and peace of mind for their family.
-
Social Tolerance & Acceptance: Most, if not all, of the business people I deal with in my legal practice are mavericks in their societies. They think differently, act differently, are motivated and pursue those goals that are different than the ones other people around them pursue. That’s why they feel like outliers in a positive way and not fully fitting into their surroundings. They want to achieve more, do more great things and change more aspects of life around them. Most of them see Canada as a canvas for their genius and unfettered creativity.
-
Access & Success on a Global Level: Our clients want to access things on a global level. They’ve seen how business is done in their home countries, and they’ve mastered it there. Now, they want to achieve success on a different level. In a way, they want to leave their comfort zone, grow exponentially and face the challenges of building something great in a different country. In that sense, I view our clients as some of the few courageous people I have seen in my life. They are not afraid to “hold the bull by its horns.”
-
Becoming a part of Team Canada: Our clients want to be viewed as Canadian business owners, as Canadian businesses and be associated with everything Canadian. This association gives them an edge over their competitors and inspires them to set bigger goals. With a maple leaf flag waving in the background, they achieve more desirable results and raise the bar on many levels. In turn, Canada opens new opportunities in different consumer markets using its free trade agreements with many countries and providing export credit support to Canadian businesses.
-
Being a Global Citizen: Realizing that doing business in Canada could potentially lead them to permanent residence and Canadian citizenship, our clients have a clear vision of their future and what they should strive for. We help them to build a clear pathway to citizenship, and following our guidance allows them to become a global citizen. With Canadian passports, our clients feel more attached to Canada, contribute more to its economy, have less hassle in travelling to most countries without a visa, and even strengthen their businesses in their home countries.

Intellectual Property Protection in Canada
Canada takes intellectual property protection seriously, with a robust domestic IP law system and international alliances that strengthen its IP efforts. The country is a signatory to five international IP treaties, which provide a framework for protecting intellectual property rights. Canada’s IP laws prevent idea theft and provide companies and entrepreneurs with confidence that their proprietary materials are well protected.
This strong federal intellectual property protection is particularly attractive to businesses in the technology and innovation sectors, where IP is a critical component of business success. Canada’s IP laws also provide a framework for companies to protect their brands, trademarks, and copyrights, which is essential for building a strong reputation and competing in the global market.
