Are you looking to spread your business to other parts of the world? Why not consider Canada? Forbes ranked Canada as the #1 country for business and investment in 2011. In addition, low corporate tax rates, minimal corruption, investor protection, and trade freedom all make Canada the ideal business and investment destination. Many things have changed since 2011, but many entrepreneurs term Canada as their dream business destination. You can be one of them; however, you must have a Canadian entrepreneur visa to start a business in Canada.

Here’s some basic information about business visas for Canada that can help!

 

Purpose of Canadian Business Visa

Before you apply for a Canadian entrepreneur visa, you should know what doors this visa will open for you. Here are the things you can do in Canada as a business visa holder.

 

● You can attend business meetings in Canada.

● You can participate in business workshops and conferences, either as a speaker/trainer or audience/trainee.

● You can read and sign business agreements and documents.

More Terms and Conditions

However, a person with a business visa can’t work as an employee in Canada. You would have to apply for a temporary workers visa to work in a Canada-based company and get their employees' benefits. In addition, a business visa in Canada lasts for just 6 months or less.

Eligibility for a Canadian Business Visa

You need to fulfill some requirements before getting a Canadian Business Visa. Before applying for a business visa in Canada, let us explain that the requirements are extensive to qualify for one. This is because the Canadian ministries want to ensure the credibility of the person engaging in business on their land. Here is the entire eligibility criteria.

● You should have a record of business visas of other countries.

● You must have proof of invitation to a conference, workshop, or business meeting in Canada.
