If you’re self-employed and want to settle in Canada, the country offers a unique pathway. The Self-Employed Immigration Program is geared toward applicants who have relevant self-employment experience as well as the intention and the ability to create their own employment in Canada. A self-employed person can be a business owner, artist, athlete, performer, actor, writer, editor, etc. At ABCan Immigration, we are here to help you make your Canadian dream true.We will assist you throughout the application process to increase your chances of getting accepted as a self-employed person in Canada.
To be eligible for the self-employed person program, you need to satisfy the four following main requirements:
This category includes foreign workers with experience in managerial, professional, or technical jobs. This category uses a 100-point grid to determine eligibility. You will need 67 points to pass this gridding system.
This program for Express Entry is applicable for a wide variety of industries, such as chefs, industrial, electrical, and construction trades. For this category, you need at least 2 years of working experience in the specific industry or trade within the last 5 years before you apply for the visa.
This class asks for Canadian experience in managerial, professional, or technical jobs but it doesn’t use a point gridding system. You need at least 1 year of Canadian experience within the last 3 years before you apply for the visa.
You must pay a biometrics fee when you submit your application. Depending on your situation, you may need to pay third parties for medical exams, police certificates, and language testing.
Fill out the form for self-employed immigration, answer all questions, sign your application, and attach a copy of all fee receipt sand supporting documents.
An application for the Self-Employed Persons Program is processed approximately within 15-24 months. Keep tracking your application status and if accepted, move to Canada.
One of the wonderful things about the self-employed program which sets it apart from business immigration programs is that there is no net-worth requirement and you need only two years of experience in your chosen field. When you choose ABCan Immigration as your immigration consultant, you gain expert insights into the immigration process and get chosen as one of the successful applicants. We have knowledgeable professionals who know all about Canadian immigration policy as well as how different immigration programs work. Here is how we will help you:
To qualify for the self-employed person program, you must have two years of relevant experience and show that you intend to become self-employed in Canada. You need to score at least 35 points on a selection grid that determines if you will be able to make an economic contribution to Canada.
No, there is no such regulated minimum net worth requirement for the self-employed program. However, you will need enough money to settle in Canada with your dependants and finance the work on which your selection was based.
If you are applying as a self-employed person, you must include the results of an English or French language test with your application. It must be a third-party language test from an agency approved by IRCC.
