Step Global to host conference on Canada’s Start-Up Visa plan
The conference will be held at Hilton Al Habtoor City today
Step Global will host its first ever Dubai conference on their exclusive Canada Start-Up Visa Programme in partnership with some of the most well reputed and awardwinning immigration lawyers in Canada.
The conference will be held at Hilton Al Habtoor City on Thursday, November 17 at 7.30pm. Topics of discussion will include how to gain Canadian permanent residency for the entire family via investment and the path to eventual Canadian citizenship and passport via the start-up route within three years.
The Canada Start-Up Visa Programme has now replaced the Canada Express Entry Programme as the most accessible federal direct to permanent residency programme. The Express Entry Programme (for skilled workers) has become increasingly competitive over the last three years, making it almost impossible for those over the age of 30 and with little to no work or educational experience within Canada to be chosen for the Programme.
Essentially, the Express Entry Programme has become more of a lottery system for applicants. As a result, more and more UAE residents and expats are now turning towards the Start-Up Visa Programme, which has opened a path to permanent residency for those with foreign work or business experience and in an older age bracket with more certainty for permanent residency.
Under the Start-Up Visa Programme, the Canadian government looks for individuals who have experience in a variety of careers and fields. Through a minimal investment as compared to other countries touting similar residency by investment or citizenship by investment programmes, an applicant can obtain direct permanent residency for the investor, the investor’s spouse, and any children under age 22.
More flexible
Canada is also more flexible in options to obtain residency for elderly parents through a process called the Super Visa, which means a full family can migrate to Canada together.
Canada has long been known as one of the best countries to live in globally with a highly ranked education system, safety and security, a sought-after social system, and universal health care. The country has also made a name for being the most immigrant friendly nation in the world. With permanent residency, an individual has the right to all government benefits available for education, health care, employment, and more.
The Canada Start Up Visa Programme has a total cost of CAD 230,000 (approximately Dh635,000), placing it head to head with some of the most well known residency by investment programmes in the world — what can be argued as a bargain for a North American passport.
