Canada's business immigration programs aim to create a "win-win" situation for both the Canadian business owners as well as the business immigration applicants. To qualify, the foreign investor must demonstrate relevant skills, extensive business experience and high liquid assets. Additionally, the foreign investor must present a feasible and practical business plan. Upon eligibility and consequently the approval of the business immigration application, the government of Canada would grant the foreign investor and his/her spouse and all minor children entry to Canada and/or residency status with a path to Canadian citizenship.

It is no secret that in some regions or certain industries in Canada there is a real shortage of workforce. Canada is the 10th largest economy and the second largest country in the world with a population that has not reached 40 million yet. This makes the challenge of labour shortage inevitable for Canada, specially for sectors with recent rapid growth such as Tech.
