We have worked with three successful applicants, who got the Canada start up visa, to produce this course.
-
The reason we produced it is because many people told us:
- It is unclear which incubators are the best ones to go for.
- It is not known what business ideas work.
- There is a lack of case studies available.
- It is unclear what documents need to be submitted.
-
The key benefits of this course are the three example cases where applicants show you:
- How they approached the business plan.
- Which business incubators they chose.
- Which business ideas were successful.
- How quickly they got permanent residence.
- How they prepared themselves for the start-up visa.
- The lessons learned - so you can benefit from their experience and make a successful application.
- We have also worked with a Canadian authorised representative to produce the example supporting documents you need to apply.
- Timelines for you to plan your visa application and business plan.
"I applied successfully for endorsement letters and was successful! My business idea was around a reminder service, and I was accepted by more than one designating body for the Canada start up visa."
- Sadi, Founder
"I applied successfully for the start up visa and my application was granted in only 2 and a half months. In this video I share my experience as a journalist starting a medical start up with my co-founder in Canada. I also talk about the market research process, competition analysis and how I used my communication skills to succeed in the visa process!"
- Raquel, Co-Founder & Chief Marketing Officer
"I applied for the start up visa for canada on the basis of my experience in ai, app development and software engineering. Here I share my experience of the process, how long it took, the interview process, getting the letter of support."
- Omar, Technical Lead
"I applied as the dependent of my wife as the main applicant, for our business, an innovative systems thinking and mapping business. We secured a grant from the Canadian government and have gone from strength to strength since. I secured permanent residence within 1 month of my start up visa being granted!"
- John, Co-Founder
"Many of my clients have strong interest in the Canadian start-up visa routes, and it compares favourably with many of the other international visa routes. This course contains detailed accounts of the experience of successful start-up visa applicants, so you can make a success of your Canadian venture. This course covers both the work permit, which you need to be granted, and insights into the process to achieving permanent residency in Canada."
- Tom Bradford, Lawyer and Partner at Freeths LLP
"The start-up visa route for Canada is one of the quickest pathways to Canadian permanent residency. You apply for a work visa and permanent residence in parallel or in short sequence, and so can often have permanent residence granted within a year. This course is a great edition to the courses provided on this platform, and distils the experiences and take-aways of successful applicants, so you can give yourself the best chance of succeeding with your Canadian start-up visa."
