Investment immigration to Canada now goes through the Start-up Visa (SUV) — a permanent residence programme for entrepreneurs whose business idea is sponsored by a designated Canadian organisation, not a "pay for PR" scheme.
The Start-up Visa targets entrepreneurs with innovative projects, committed to support by a venture capital fund, angel investor group, or designated business incubator. M2W assesses profiles against these exact criteria.
Start-up Visa Canada là gì
Theo IRCC, the Start-up Visa grants permanent residence for entrepreneurs who meet all four requirements: own a qualifying business, hold a support letter of commitment from a designated organisation, meet a minimum English/French level of CLB 5, and prove sufficient settlement funds.
The four core conditions of the SUV
Qualifying Business
Hold the required equity threshold, with the business based in Canada as required.
Designated sponsoring organisation
A venture capital fund, angel investor group, or designated incubator.
Language proficiency
Achieve at least CLB 5 in English or French across all 4 skills.
Financial proof
Sufficient initial settlement funds for yourself and your family per IRCC's published amounts.

Frequently asked questions about investment immigration to Canada
How much investment does it take to immigrate to Canada?
Canada has no “pay for PR” category. The federal Immigrant Investor Program closed in 2014. The current investment pathway is the Start-up Visa, based on a business idea supported by a designated organisation, not a fixed investment amount.
Does the Canada Start-up Visa grant permanent residence immediately?
Yes. The Start-up Visa grants permanent residence to entrepreneurs who meet the business requirements, have a letter of support, reach CLB 5 language proficiency, and demonstrate financial capacity.
What is the designated organisation in SUV?
A venture capital fund, angel investor group or startup incubator recognised by IRCC that issues a letter of support commitment for the candidate's project.
