Business Plans for Canada — and for Canadians Expanding to the U.S.
We serve two distinct audiences: foreign entrepreneurs establishing or acquiring a business in Canada under C-11 and provincial nominee streams, and Canadian citizens investing in the U.S. under E-2 treaty rights.
Canadian Program Status
C-11 Work Permit: Active and available in 2026 for entrepreneurs providing significant benefit to Canada.
Federal Start-Up Visa: Closed to new applications at the end of 2025.
Self-Employed Persons: Intake paused until further notice.
Coming to Canada (C-11 & Provincial Streams)
- • C-11 Owner-Operator: Plans demonstrating significant economic, social, or cultural benefit, provincial market trends, and CAD projections.
- • Provincial Entrepreneur PNP: Performance-agreement plans matching criteria for open provincial streams.
- • For RCICs: Silent white-label delivery in Canadian English spelling and CAD metrics.
Canadians Going to the U.S. (E-1 / E-2)
- • E-2 Treaty Investor: Canadian citizens can invest in U.S. commercial businesses with no quota backlogs.
- • E-1 Treaty Trader: Canadian cross-border trade companies moving goods, technology, or consulting across the border.
- • L-1 Transfers: Canadian corporations opening U.S. branches and dispatching executive transferees.
