Canada’s Business Immigration pathways are very limited for those seeking direct access to permanent resident status. For those who intend to immigrate to Canada through the establishment of a business starting with a work permit however, there may be helpful pathways that can serve as a stepping-stone towards eventual permanent resident status. One such pathway is as a Free Trade Agreement Investor which is available to citizens of most countries that have a reciprocal Free Trade Agreement with Canada. This course will cover the foundational basis of Investor work permits in law, the practical requirements of applying as an Investor, and considerations for transitioning an Investor work permit holder to permanent resident status.
