At Kahlon Law Office, we provide expert legal assistance for foreign nationals looking to operate their own business in Canada through the C11 Work Permit. This work permit, available under Canada’s International Mobility Program, is designed for entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals who wish to enter Canada temporarily to pursue business opportunities that contribute to the Canadian economy, society, and culture.

What are the eligibility requirements for a C11 work permit?

The C11 Work Permit is available to individuals who meet the following criteria:

Entrepreneurs and Self-Employed Individuals: You must be the owner or a key player in a business venture that has the potential to offer significant benefits to Canada.
Significant Benefits to Canada: You need to demonstrate how your business or self-employed activity will contribute to the Canadian economy, create job opportunities, or introduce new skills, technology, or services.
Temporary Stay: If you are applying for a temporary work permit, you must show that you intend to leave Canada once your business activities are complete or your work permit expires.

For applicants who are interested in permanent residency, certain pathways may allow you to transition from the C11 work permit to a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) or other immigration routes, such as the Federal Express Entry system. If you plan to settle in Quebec, you may be eligible for the Quebec Self-Employed Worker Program, which offers an additional pathway to permanent residency.

What are the key factors to consider for C11 work permit applications?

Business Viability: You must demonstrate that your business will contribute to Canada’s economy by providing job opportunities or stimulating local industries.
Skills and Experience: Immigration officers assess whether your experience, skills, and business background will ensure the success of your venture in Canada.
Temporary vs. Permanent Residency: For those seeking permanent residency, your business must show significant, long-term benefits to Canada. We guide you through the options for transitioning from a C11 work permit to permanent residence.
Ownership and Control: You must hold a majority stake (at least 50%) in the business to qualify for a C11 permit as an entrepreneur. In cases where multiple owners are involved, only one person may be eligible for the C11 work permit.

What services do we offer for C11 work permit applications?
