Why join us?

We are your trusted partner in Canada, providing exclusive access to the SUV Program support through our partners.

To apply for the Start-Up Visa Program, you must pitch your qualifying start-up to a designated organization to gain their support and ensure you meet other requirements.  A designated organization is a minister-approved business that can invest in or support your start-up, aiming to help it grow through various offerings, from business mentoring to capital investment.

Organizations select which business proposals to review and have specific intake processes and criteria for assessment. For example, you may need to present your business concept in person or submit a detailed business plan. If an organization decides to review your business idea, it will assess its potential for success. If an organization supports your business idea, it will provide you with a Letter of Support.
