What Are The Investment Options For Canada Start-Up Visa?
The Canada Start-Up Visa offers three investment pathways: 1) Venture Capital Fund – minimum CAD 200,000 investment, 2) Angel Investor Group – minimum CAD 75,000 investment (most popular option), and 3) Business Incubator – no minimum investment required. Each option requires securing a Letter of Support from a designated organization. Additionally, you need settlement funds ranging from CAD 13,310 for a single applicant to CAD 24,733 for a family of four.
The complete process typically takes 12-36 months. This includes: securing Letter of Support (2-4 months), optional work permit processing (2-3 months), and permanent residency application (12-24 months). You can obtain a work permit to relocate to Canada immediately while your PR application is being processed, allowing you to establish your business and settle in Canada without waiting for the full PR approval.
Yes, up to 5 co-founders can apply together under a single business venture through the SUV program. Each applicant must hold at least 10% of voting rights in the business, and together with the designated organization, must jointly hold more than 50% of total voting rights. This unique feature allows business partners to immigrate together, making it ideal for startup teams.
Your permanent residency status is not tied to your business success. Once you receive your PR through the Start-Up Visa Program, it cannot be revoked if your business fails. This provides security and allows you to pursue other opportunities in Canada, including employment or starting new ventures. The program is designed to attract entrepreneurs, understanding that not all startups succeed.
 
Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English or French at Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) Level 5 minimum in all four abilities: speaking, reading, writing, and listening. This is equivalent to IELTS score of 5.0 in reading, 5.0 in writing, 5.0 in listening, and 5.0 in speaking. French speakers can take the TEF or TCF tests. This requirement ensures basic communication ability for business and daily life in Canada.

After obtaining permanent residency, you can apply for Canadian citizenship once you’ve lived in Canada for at least 3 years (1,095 days) within the past 5 years. You must also demonstrate language proficiency, pass a citizenship test on Canadian history and values, and have no criminal record. Canadian citizenship provides a powerful passport with visa-free access to 185+ countries and the right to vote.
