For immigrant entrepreneurs, Canada’s Start-up Visa (SUV) is rising as a premier route with high approval odds versus other economic programs like Express Entry.<\/p>\n

In 2021, over 184,000 ITAs were issued, resulting in the permanent residence of over 108,000 individuals primarily through the Federal Skilled Worker Program and Federal Skilled Trades Program, which saw\u00a0approval rates of 60% and 65%<\/a>\u00a0respectively.<\/p>\n

Recent IRCC data<\/a>\u00a0shows the SUV had an 80% approval rate from 2016-2022, outpacing Express Entry streams such as Federal Skilled Worker and Federal Skilled Trades Program. Especially, Angel Investor Groups consistently achieved high approval rates, achieving 89% on average across the years. Business Incubators also displayed commendable approval rates, ranging from 69% to 90%. However, due to limited data availability, it is challenging to draw firm conclusions about the approval rates of Venture Capital Funds.<\/p>\n
