The Self-Employed Persons Program allows foreign nationals to settle in Canada as professional athletes, farmers, or artisans by having relevant experience in cultural activities or athletics and being willing and able to make a significant contribution to Canada's cultural or athletic sectors. There is currently a full pause on application intake for this Program until further notice from IRCC..
The Canada Start-Up Visa (SUV) program is designed for entrepreneurs with innovative business ideas that can create jobs for Canadians. Applicants do not need to invest their own money.

To qualify, their business ideas or ventures must get the support of no more than 10 start-ups per designated organization, such as venture capital funds, angel investor groups, or business incubators.

The business must operate in Canada, and the applicant must intend to reside outside the province of Quebec.
The Provincial Business / Entrepreneur Programs are managed by each province and territory to meet their labor and economic market needs. Each province has business/entrepreneur streams and pathways for graduates and foreign nationals wishing to become permanent residents..
