Here’s the info for the BC stream I think you mean. I don’t think a lawyer or “business agent” is required. |

Re: Investment in a business in Canada to live and work
There is also the 'start up visa' route https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...tart-visa.html and 'self employed visa' route https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...-employed.html
Start-up visa <- FAQ's I think both can take quite some time, but may be worth a look. :) |

When you say 'family', just checking, but do you mean and spouse and/or dependent children? They are the only ones that would be allowed to go on your visa application. |

Family my wife and kids. Under the Self-Employed Persons Program, what does cultural activities mean? Investor scheme for $800k is in Quebec. Immigration, Diversité et Inclusion Québec - Programme des investisseurs (If you cannot read it in French, it may not be the right program) Business immigration program Also look at the discontinued programs, some of the old ones are no longer offered. Google may come of with old cached pages that no longer apply. The rest of Canada the net worth requirement is $10m and an investment of $2m for 15 years. The start up visa may be of interest What is the minimum investment that I would need to apply for a start-up visa? |

CHRISTMASOOMPA What Is the BC program ? Is the startup visa still running in the BC area as this area would be ideal for me ?Who do I contact ?The kids are 7 and 16. |
Re: Investment in a business in Canada to live and work
The $600.000/$200,000 is the BC PNP, so no it's not anywhere in Canada - it must be in BC.
The Start Up Visa is Federal, so you can go anywhere. The relevant links are given above. Grab a cuppa and get reading! |
