Canada Rolls Out Start-Up Visa Program
Following up on an announcement made in September, the Citizen and Immigration Ministry of Canada will launch a new visa program on April 1 to recruit innovators and entrepreneurs to the country. The Start-Up Visa Program will connect immigrant entrepreneurs with organizations who will be able to provide services and expertise to these entrepreneurs to help create startup businesses. Initially, venture capital groups, angel organizations, and incubators will be tapped to provide these services.
