Monday–Saturday, 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM IST
Who this is for
- Business owners in Punjab with CAD 300,000–800,000 in net worth to show
- Families who want a business, not a job, as the route to PR
- Investors who were told the federal investor programme is closed — it is; this is what replaced it
How it works
- 01Province shortlisted by minimum investment, net worth and where family already lives
- 02Expression of interest with a business plan the province can score
- 03Exploratory visit — most streams reward it
- 04Performance agreement, temporary entry to run the business, then nomination and PR
Documents
- Net-worth verification by a designated accountant
- Three years of business ownership or senior management proof
- Business plan with job creation and investment schedule
- Language test (CLB 4–5 depending on province)
Questions we get on this
British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador and the Yukon each run one, with regional variants for smaller communities that ask for less money. Minimums range from roughly CAD 100,000 in a regional stream to CAD 600,000 in Toronto.
No. Almost every stream is a two-step: temporary entry to establish the business under a performance agreement, then nomination once you meet its terms. Plan for two to three years.
You enter on a temporary status tied to your own business, not to an employer. Lifeset Overseas advises on the PR pathway and the provincial file; we do not arrange employment for anyone.
