1. THE CANADIAN STARTUP
VISA IMMIGRATION PROGRAM

2. I am a Canadian start-up consultant who assists
immigrant entrepreneurs in applying for the Canadian
Immigration Permanent Resident Program
As former start-up mentor, I advise and facilitate
startups in all sectors of the economy firstly through a
vetting process involving reviewing an applicant’s pitch
decks or investment teasers. This would include
applying due diligence through KYC so that they can
successfully obtain term sheets and a letter of support
or be awarded a commitment certificate from a
designated Canadian incubator or Angel Investor.
This part of your application process is FREE
