You must first convince a designated organization to fund your start-up company by presenting your business idea to it. A designated organization will send a commitment certificate to the corresponding Canadian office and provide you with a letter of support if it decides to assist your project.
The procedure for submitting your concept to each designated organization differs. You must get in touch with the specified organization to learn the requirements for requesting its assistance. If you satisfy all requirements for qualifying, you can submit a finished application that includes your letter of support.
To find out how to obtain its support, you must get in touch with the designated organization. You must persuade the group that your business concept is one they should support. Each organization has a different method for presenting ideas. Every organization has unique needs. For instance, you might be required to give a live presentation of your business idea or submit a thorough business plan.
A letter of support will be provided if you and the specified group can agree. When submitting your application, you must attach this letter. This is the evidence you need to present to demonstrate the support your business idea has from the venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator. A commitment certificate will also be delivered directly to the Canadian office by the organization. They evaluate your application using both the organization’s commitment certificate and the letter of support you provided.
First, your company idea will be evaluated for viability by the selected organization(s) from which you are seeking support.
If you have got the support required to apply, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will then assess your immigration application to determine whether you are qualified to become a permanent resident.
Finally, an independent peer review procedure may be applied to your submission. This is done to prevent fraud and to make sure that both your activities and those of the approved organization adhere to the norms set by the industry for this kind of service.
First, you must pitch your business idea to a designated organization and convince it to support your start-up company. Need help figuring out where to start? We’ve got you covered. Contact us to discover our plan for you.
Once a designated organization decides to support your business, it will send a commitment certificate to the Canadian Citizenship office and give you a letter of support.
