Based on a points-based grading method to evaluate the qualifications of business immigration applicants The Federal Self-Employed Persons Program also demands that applicants have two years of working experience in their area to demonstrate their ability to earn a living as a self-employed person anywhere in the Canadian province, with the exception of Quebec.
A little like its counterpart in the federal government, the Quebec Self-Employed Program requires applicants to show their capacity to work as a self-employed professional in their field. The program also requires an upper limit on net worth of $100,000 and, as is the case with all provincial programs for immigration, it requires applicants must have the intention to live in Quebec.
If an applicant wants to relocate to a specific province, they could opt to apply for self-employed stream within the provincial Nominee Program. Every province and territory has their own qualifications along with selection guidelines, but there are a number of possible overlaps in eligibility requirements that are found in other business streams for immigration, like years of experience or the proof of funds from personal sources.
