The Start-Up Visa Program, for example, is geared toward innovative entrepreneurs who can obtain support from designated organizations in Canada. The Self-Employed Persons Program caters to individuals with relevant experience in cultural or athletic activities, while Investor and Entrepreneur Programs are more suitable for those looking to invest or manage businesses in Canada.
Trader programs are designed to facilitate trade and commerce between Canada and treaty countries. Contact us to learn more about how we can assist you with your business immigration needs.

For instance, some programs may prioritize individuals with a strong entrepreneurial track record or specialised expertise, while others may focus on candidates with significant investment potential or unique cultural contributions. Additionally, proficiency in either English or French is often a crucial requirement, and demonstrating financial stability is key to meeting immigration standards.

Yes, you can hire foreign employees for your business in Canada, provided you meet certain requirements. To hire a foreign employee, you may need to obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).
An LMIA demonstrates that there is a genuine need for the foreign worker and that no Canadians are available to fill the position. Once the LMIA is approved, the foreign employee can apply for a work permit based on your job offer.
Fulcrum Law can guide you through the LMIA application and help ensure that your hiring process is compliant with Canadian immigration regulations. Contact us to discuss your needs and explore your options.
