Running a business in New Brunswick, then provincial nomination and Canadian PR

Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Oscar Yip, Founder & Managing Director

Summary

Ms Suen’s NB Business Immigration experience. She wanted the family to settle somewhere with a slower pace of life.

Background

Ms Suen, from Kaohsiung, applied with her husband and one child. She wanted the family to settle somewhere with a slower pace of life.

Main concern

She worried about settling in after the move, and whether she could meet the operating requirements.

Our approach

We planned the business to meet New Brunswick’s requirements, and kept helping the family settle in after they landed.

Process and outcome

She was nominated by the province and received permanent residence in about 42 months.

Adviser’s comment

New Brunswick’s investment threshold is relatively low, but you need time to run the business and meet the requirements.

NB Business Immigration application process

  1. Assessment and business plan (1–3 months): We assess your eligibility and prepare your business plan.
  2. Expression of interest and invitation (By invitation): Submit an expression of interest and, once invited, a full application.
  3. Work permit and running the business (Depends on the business): Start or buy a business in New Brunswick on a work permit.
  4. Nomination and permanent residence (Depends on progress): Once you meet the requirements you are nominated by the province and apply for permanent residence.
