“My friend referred CanadaShaws to me when I planned to start my application to moved to Canada. All I want to say is they have a incredible team who can give you advise professionally. It only took me roughly 2.5 months from my Master program application through having SP and OWP granted for the family. They are group of professional which you can rely on.”

What is the Start-Up Visa?

The Canada Start-up Visa (SUV) Program is a groundbreaking immigration pathway designed for visionary entrepreneurs like you. It offers a direct route to Permanent Residency (PR) by empowering you to launch or scale an innovative business in Canada. Unlike traditional immigration programs, the SUV focuses on your potential to contribute to Canada’s economy through creativity, collaboration, and cutting-edge ideas.

Why the SUV Program Stands Out?

  • Permanent Residency for Your Entire Family: Secure a future in Canada not just for yourself, but for your spouse and dependent children.

  • Flexibility to Innovate: Build your business your way—whether you’re leading a tech startup, a green energy venture, or a disruptive social enterprise.

  • Thriving Ecosystem: Gain access to Canada’s world-class startup networks, mentors, and investors, including government-designated organizations ready to support your vision.

  • No Personal Investment Required: The SUV prioritizes your skills and business potential over upfront financial commitments.

Key Eligibility Requirements

To qualify, you’ll need:

  1. A qualifying business that’s innovative, scalable, and capable of creating jobs for Canadians.

  2. A Letter of Support from a designated Canadian organization (venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator).

  3. Language proficiency in English or French (CLB 5 or higher).

  4. Settlement funds to support yourself and your family upon arrival.

Ready to see if you’re a fit? Or let our experts assess your potential—risk-free.

How Can We Support Your Journey?​

1. Develop a Business Plan

We navigate the complex requirements to connect you with approved venture capital, angel investors, or business incubators—crafting pitch materials and negotiating terms to secure your essential Letter of Support.

3. End-to-End Application Mastery

We manage the dual-layer SUV process seamlessly. On the business side, we handle incorporation filings, ownership structuring, and financial projections. For immigration requirements, we prepare IRCC forms, validate proof of settlement funds, and coordinate medical/security checks. Our team also acts as your direct representative, liaising with designated organizations and immigration authorities to streamline communication.

My initial consultation with Canada Shaws RCIC and Ms. Michelle was both helpful and informative. They explained the overall process clearly, though the information provided was somewhat limited, and some expectations may have been set a bit high. However, this gave me the confidence to move forward with their services. Throughout the entire process, Canada Shaws maintained a high level of professionalism and responsiveness. They assisted me in organizing all the necessary documents, carefully reviewed my application before submission, and kept me updated on its progress. I especially appreciated their attention to detail, their handling of communication with immigration authorities, and the emotional support they provided during the more stressful moments of the journey. Ms. Dara was particularly supportive and instrumental in helping me navigate the immigration process. Based on my experience, I would confidently recommend Canada Shaws to others pursuing a study permit.

I recently had the privilege of a consulting session with "Canada Shaws Consulting Inc.", where I worked with Cellia Xiao, a renowned RCIC, and Mr. Justin, thanks to their exceptional Case Executive, Afraa Rasoulnejad. Their team provided me with invaluable advice and expertly guided me in choosing the best pathway to obtain my Canadian PR(Permanent Residency), even though I haven’t yet completed my MBA program. Initially, I was overwhelmed and unsure about which immigration path suited my situation and offered the best chance for success. However, their personalized approach made all the difference. The team treated me as a valued client, dedicating significant effort to reviewing my entire case, including both my wife’s and my CVs. They meticulously evaluated all possible options and helped me select the most promising one with confidence. I am deeply impressed by their dedication, attention to detail, and genuine efforts to provide tailored advice. I wholeheartedly recommend Canada Shaws Consulting Inc. to anyone seeking clarity and direction on immigration pathways. They are truly a game-changer in consulting services!
