Are you a business owner or investor looking for a golden opportunity to expand globally while securing a future for your family? Several Canadian provinces run entrepreneur streams that let experienced business owners buy a profitable, fully operational business, run it on a work permit and then apply for Permanent Residency (PR) for themselves and their families once they meet the terms agreed with the province.
Why Invest in a Running Business in Canada?
Income-Generating from the Start
Unlike starting a business from scratch, an existing business already has cash flow, infrastructure, staff and a client base. Profits are never guaranteed, and every province requires you to manage the business actively.
Minimum Investment Set by Each Province
Minimum investments start at CAD 100,000 in some regional streams, such as British Columbia’s Regional Stream or Nova Scotia outside Halifax, and CAD 200,000 under British Columbia’s Entrepreneur Immigration Base category. Provinces also set personal net-worth requirements, from CAD 300,000 to CAD 600,000. Whether you’re coming from India, the Middle East, or Southeast Asia, this is a route into Canada’s economy.
PR Pathway for the Entire Family
By investing in a Canadian business, you can apply for Permanent Residency for your spouse and children, ensuring access to Canada’s high-quality education, healthcare, and lifestyle benefits.
Open to Experienced Entrepreneurs
Provincial entrepreneur streams focus mainly on your business experience, net worth and investment, although some award points for age in their selection.
Support With the Business Purchase
The right business for these streams is:
-
Fully operational
-
Located in a province with an open entrepreneur stream, such as British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia or New Brunswick
-
Checked against the province’s eligibility rules before you commit
You will still need to run the business yourself; XIPHIAS helps you prepare the business plan and the immigration application the province requires.
Expert Immigration Support
You get end-to-end support from business selection to PR application, with XIPHIAS working alongside a CICC-licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (licence R516194).
What Kind of Businesses Can You Acquire?
Businesses commonly bought under these streams include:
-
Franchises
-
Restaurants & Cafés
-
Retail chains
-
Logistics & Warehousing units
-
IT services and tech-based startups
Every business should be checked carefully for profitability and growth potential before you invest.
