For permanent pathways like the Start-up Visa Program, no personal investment is needed. However, you must secure CAD 200,000 from a designated venture capital fund or CAD 75,000 from a designated angel investor group. Acceptance into a designated business incubator requires no financial commitment. For Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), minimum investment varies, typically from CAD 150,000 to CAD 600,000, depending on the province.
