Canada C11 Work Permit Explained | Start or Buy a Business in Canada

Mr. Afshin Yazdani explains C11 Work Permit: The C11 entrepreneur work permit allows foreign nationals to start or purchase a business in Canada and actively manage it, without needing a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Key eligibility criteria include: 51% ownership of the Canadian business, providing an economic/social/cultural benefit to Canada, having relevant business/management experience, sufficient funds to support the business and living expenses for 12-18 months, and demonstrating the intent to reside in Canada temporarily. Buying an existing business may be faster and easier to demonstrate immediate economic benefit compared to starting a new business from scratch. The recommended minimum investment is around $200,000 CAD to cover startup costs and living expenses. The C11 work permit itself does not directly lead to permanent residency, but can position the applicant for other pathways like the Startup Visa, Provincial Nominee Programs, or Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker). Careful planning is required to navigate the different permanent residency options available based on the business ownership model. ---------------------------------- Looking for expert legal help with immigration, business law, or real estate?
