At CanWise Law, our priority is to ensure the highest success rate for our clients. We believe that a practical approach, focusing our efforts on a select range of business immigration categories, is the most effective way to achieve this. We currently focus on the following programs:
The Saskatchewan Entrepreneur Program (SINP) is a well-structured pathway for businesspersons who aim to start, own, or partner in a business in Saskatchewan. This program evaluates candidates on various factors, including age, business experience, net worth, and the nature of the proposed business, using a Points Assessment Grid. It's important to note that meeting the minimum eligibility criteria does not guarantee an Invitation to Apply, as candidates are selected based on their scores in the points-based system.
The program is centered on a series of sequential steps:
The Ontario Entrepreneur Stream (OINP) is a key pathway for experienced business owners and senior managers who aim to establish or acquire a business in Ontario. This program forms part of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) and is geared towards supporting entrepreneurs with the necessary skills, experience, and business plans to succeed in Ontario. This program offers a beneficial opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to contribute to Ontario’s economy and in return, offers a pathway to Canadian permanent residency.
Key aspects of the Ontario Entrepreneur Stream include:
1. Eligibility Criteria:

The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application process in Canada is an essential step for employers seeking to hire foreign workers. As of April 2023, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) requires LMIA applications to be submitted online through the LMIA Online Portal.
The Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) program in Canada is a part of the International Mobility Program and allows multinational companies to temporarily transfer qualified employees to Canada. This program is beneficial for improving management effectiveness, expanding Canadian exports, and enhancing competitiveness in overseas markets. Work permits under the ICT program are exempt from needing a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
The C11 Work Permit, part of Canada's International Mobility Program, is specifically designed for foreign entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals planning to start or operate a business in Canada. This permit is typically valid for two years and can be extended. It requires applicants to demonstrate a significant contribution to the Canadian economy, such as creating jobs for Canadians or introducing innovative products or services. Applicants must have a majority ownership in the Canadian business and provide a comprehensive business plan detailing their proposed business's potential impact.
