Replacement Programs

Federal Immigration Programs

Please see the “Start-Up Visa Program” for the replacement of the Immigrant Entrepreneur Program.

Provincial Immigration Programs

Some provinces in Canada, such as British Columbia (BC Provincial Nominee Program [BC-PNP]), have instituted similar Entrepreneur Immigration Programs through their respective Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

An applicant must apply through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) in the province of their choosing and qualify under the Provincial Nominee requirements. It is the responsibility of each province to establish qualifications for any immigration applications they process.

Province of Quebec Entrepreneur Immigration Programs
