Start-Up Visa (SUV) provides permanent residence status to entrepreneurs who have the potential to build high-growth start-ups in Canada (excluding the province of Quebec).
The SUV program allows qualified foreign entrepreneurs to apply for Canadian permanent residency if they have obtained a commitment of support from a designated entity. Designated entities include business incubators, angel investor groups, and venture capital funds.
Contractors having expertise in relation to business incubators, angel investor groups and venture capital funds, for the purposes of administering the SUV program, fulfill an important role that includes providing guidance and advice to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on the designation and revocation of designation of entities, as well as conducting peer reviews of commitments issued by designated entities for applicants under the program to ensure program integrity.
The objective of this requirement is to obtain services of a Contractor(s) that will provide guidance and recommendations to IRCC on the SUV program.
