Not only Skilled Workers or Professionals like lawyers, doctors, teachers, engineers or managerial staff like directors, managers or supervisors can migrate to Canada. More and more as I delve into the Canada Immigration world, I see yet other opportunities for people who are interested in moving to Canada even if they just want to go work mechanics, plumbers, chauffeurs, among others. More so, Canada also permits business-oriented people to come set up either their practice or companies in their country with the help of the government and even investors…

Do you even know that you can be an athlete or a sportsperson and still move to Canada?
Do you have a world competitive business idea that can be invested on by rich Canadians?
Or perhaps do you want to just migrate to quiet countryside of Canada to go relax and live peacefully?
Well, today’s blog article is just for these set of people I referred to in my questioning. If you do not categorize perfectly into these intending Canada permanent residents, you can still read through to see how you can benefit other people who might be looking out to you for advice and guidance for their immigration quest. No knowledge is indeed a waste once learnt and utilized.
Self Employed Program
The first program I would talk about today is the Self-Employed Program. As the name implies, Self-employed Persons Program allows people to immigrate to Canada permanently as a self-employed person. And, the processing time for this program is a duration of 22 months.
If you’re interested in this program, you must:
have relevant experience in cultural activities or athletics and
be willing and able to make a significant contribution to the cultural or athletic life of Canada
Definitions
Relevant experience for a self-employed person means at least two years of experience. It must be during the period starting 5 years before the day you apply and ending on the day we make a decision on your application. You can get more points if you have 3, 4, or 5 years of experience.
At a minimum, your experience must be:
for cultural activities:
2 one-year periods being self-employed in cultural activities, or
2 one-year periods participating at a world-class level in cultural activities, or
a combination of a one-year period described in (a), and a one-year period described in (b)
for athletics:
2 one-year periods being self-employed in athletics, or
2 one-year periods participating at a world class level in athletics, or
a combination of a one-year period described in (a) above, and a one-year period described in (b) above.
Start-Up Visa Program
The next program is known as the Start-Up Visa. Let us find out how to immigrate to Canada by starting a business and creating jobs, or support innovative entrepreneurs. The processing time for this program is 12-16 months. Canada’s Start-up Visa Program targets immigrant entrepreneurs with the skills and potential to build businesses in Canada that:
are innovative
can create jobs for Canadians
can compete on a global scale
Do you have an innovative business idea? If you can get support for your idea from one of the designated organizations, you may be able to immigrate to Canada. While your application for permanent residence is being processed, you can apply for a temporary work permit to get to Canada and start building your business.
Who can apply
To be eligible for the Start-up Visa Program, you must:
have a qualifying business
get a letter of support from a designated organization
meet the language requirements
bring enough money to settleRural and Northern Pilot Program
The last major program is the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot which is also a community-driven program. It’s designed to spread the benefits of economic immigration to smaller communities by creating a path to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers who want to work and live in one of the participating communities. Moreover, it is a potential alternative Canadian immigration option for people who have struggled through other immigration pathways, such as Express Entry. Candidates who are interested in applying must make sure that they meet the federal requirements for the program, plus the requirements set out by each community. This includes an eligible job offer from an employer in one of the participating communities. There are currently ten communities accepting applications through the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) with the latest addition being the region of North Bay, Ontario. Others are;
Claresholm, Alberta
West Kootenay Region, British Columbia
Vernon, British Columbia
Altona/Rhineland, Manitoba
Brandon, Manitoba
North Bay, Ontario
Sault Ste-Marie, Ontario
Sudbury, Ontario
Thunder Bay, Ontario
