Business and Immigration
Business immigrants are people who are able to start a business in Canada, or invest in an existing business.  Immigrants in this category must be experienced in the business sector and must support the development of the Canadian economy.  There are three different categories of business immigrant: Investor, Entrepreneur, and Self-Employed.

Business Immigration is a category of immigration defined by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.  More information about applying to be a business immigrant is available on the CIC web site.

This section of the web site also contains information about starting a business, the Nova Scotia Nominee Program, and Nova Scotia organizations that support business.
