Many of Canada’s provinces have their own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Based on the province’s economic needs, a PNP allows a province to nominate an applicant to immigrate to Canada and settle in that province.

Under various Provincial Nominee Programs, there exists many business immigration categories for individuals who are interested to start or invest in a Canadian business venture. The minimum investment and net worth requirements vary from province to province, as every business immigration program is created to suit the needs of the province.

Generally, every business program requires the applicant to create a detailed business plan. The plan must explain the type of business being purchased or established, provide detailed financial projections that can demonstrate the profitable impact on the local economy and labor market.
