World-Leading Entrepreneur To Launch a Start-up in Canada.

A prominent serial entrepreneur contacted us to inquire about possible business immigration options to Canada. The client had a budget of CAD $500,000 to achieve his business goals. We were glad to assist another successful individual to bring their expertise and start a new business in Canada. Below is the summary of the facts of this case:

• The client comes from an extensive entrepreneurial background, having started ventures in several countries and across different industries;

• The main goal of our client was to start a new app publishing and development company in Canada;

• The Canadian company has received considerable funding from a leading start-up incubator and several investment firms;

• The expertise of our client ranges from product and brand development to marketing to innovation of processes and design, and much more;

• He has won awards for several of his projects, has been recognized by several organizations as a leader in the industry, and has been invited to lecture at a university;

• Additionally, he has been the best-selling and highest-rated instructor at a world-leading online course platform; and

• The client was born in Slovakia and has Portuguese citizenship. His partner has French citizenship. The client wanted his partner to accompany him during his business venture in Canada.

After considering the requirements of the client, his goals, and his background, our business immigration lawyers proposed the C11 Entrepreneur Work Permit as the most suitable solution.

Timeline of the Case: How to Launch a Startup in Canada

We began by incorporating and registering our client’s business in Canada on 26 April 2021, which is an essential process for business immigration. After incorporation and registration, it was also necessary to obtain the required permits to operate the business legally in Canada.

Our business immigration lawyers prepared and submitted the C11 Work Permit application on 31 July 2021. The application was approved on 14 February 2022, allowing our client to legally operate the business in Canada.

Due to Covid-19 related delays, it took IRCC significantly longer to review our client’s application. However, we stayed in constant contact with the government officials by regularly requesting updates on the application and making sure that it was progressing. These are unprecedented times and we very much appreciated our client’s patience and determination during this process.

The client received a work permit, and his partner received an open work permit.
