In today’s borderless economy, the ability to launch and scale a venture on a global stage is more critical than ever. Canada offers a powerful platform for international entrepreneurs with bold ideas and scalable solutions through its Start-Up Visa (SUV) Program—a streamlined immigration pathway explicitly designed for innovators.

At Change of Phase Consulting Group, we’ve worked with founders across continents, helping them navigate this program and turn visionary ideas into high-impact businesses rooted in Canada’s thriving innovation ecosystem.

A Strategic Launchpad for Global Entrepreneurs

Unlike conventional immigration programs, the Start-Up Visa is designed with entrepreneurship at its core. It targets founders who can build innovative, globally competitive businesses that can create jobs for Canadians.

This isn’t just a visa—it’s an invitation to join one of the world’s most inclusive and future-forward startup environments.

Why Canada Stands Out

🌐 A Globally Connected Innovation Ecosystem

From Toronto’s booming tech corridor to Vancouver’s start-up-friendly climate, Canada offers a collaborative ecosystem where founders can access world-class talent, capital, and mentorship.

A Pathway to Permanent Residency

The SUV Program leads directly to permanent residency, removing the uncertainty that often comes with temporary entrepreneur visas in other countries. Founders and their families can build lasting lives while growing their ventures.

💼 No Personal Investment Required

Entrepreneurs are not required to inject personal capital into the business. Instead, they must secure support from a designated organization—such as an angel investor group, venture capital firm, or business incubator—that underscores the strength of their business model and its market potential.

🛠️ Government Support and Incentives

From generous R&D tax credits to innovation grants and provincial programs, Canada actively supports entrepreneurs through various startup-friendly policies and incentives.

Who’s Eligible?

To qualify for the Canada Start-Up Visa Program, applicants must:

• Own a qualifying business
• Obtain a letter of support from a designated organization
• Meet the language requirement (CLB 5 or higher in English or French)
• Demonstrate sufficient settlement funds

These requirements ensure the program attracts determined, capable founders ready to succeed in a competitive market.

Success Stories That Inspire

The SUV Program has been instrumental in launching hundreds of startups across diverse industries—AI, fintech, health tech, clean energy, and more. Many businesses now thrive and contribute to Canada’s economic and technological landscape.
