SELF EMPLOYED

If you want to work as a professional athlete, farmer, or artisan in one of Canada’s provinces or territories, you may be eligible for a business immigrant visa for yourself and your immediate family.

The Federal Self Employed Class

The Self-Employed Class is for applicants who have relevant self-employment experience as well as the desire and ability to create their own employment and significantly contribute to Canada's cultural, artistic, or athletic life, or who want to create their own employment by purchasing and managing a farm in Canada. The Federal Self-Employed Persons Program, which assesses business immigration applicants' eligibility using a point-based grading system, also requires applicants to have two years of relevant work experience in their field as proof that they can be gainfully self-employed in any Canadian province except Quebec.

The Quebec Self-Employed Program

Self-employed candidates in Quebec differ from skilled worker applicants in that they come to Canada to build their own job by practising a trade or engaging in commercial activities. They must have two years of relevant experience, a personal net worth of $100,000 CAD, adequate settlement funding, and a desire to work in a National Occupational Classification-designated profession in Quebec.
