Preparing early for the job-creation requirement, then provincial nomination

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

Summary

Mr Ma’s NB Business Immigration experience. He wanted to move to Canada with a relatively low investment threshold.

Background

Mr Ma, from Hong Kong, applied with his wife. He wanted to move to Canada with a relatively low investment threshold.

Main concern

The investment threshold was modest, but he wasn’t clear on the job-creation requirement.

Our approach

We reminded him that at least one full-time job must be created, and planned the hire early.

Process and outcome

He met the requirements and was nominated by the province in about 24 months.

Adviser’s comment

Lower-threshold programmes still have operating requirements; preparing early makes nomination smoother.

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.
