S1E6 - Sorry, We’re Closed: Business and Corporate Immigration in Canada
Welcome Home: An Immigration Law PodcastShow Notes
Why is Canada falling behind in business and corporate immigration? With minuscule applicant intake numbers, protracted processing times, and unwieldy programs with no guarantees of residency, one could argue that Canada is CLOSED FOR BUSINESS, or at the very least risk-averse when it comes to foreign entrepreneurs.
Join Chantal and Cathryn as they sit down with immigration lawyer Robin Seligman to review Canada’s business and corporate immigration programs. Learn about current pathways: PNPs, Start-Up Visas, Immigrant Investor, and Self-Employed Persons. Then, hear our hosts and guests propose their own requirements for a viable and balanced program that would benefit foreign entrepreneurs and the Canadian economy.
Never ask your client a question you do not already know the answer to. Hear how Chantal and Cathryn learned this piece of legal wisdom the hard way in a new podcast segment, “Tales from the Trenches.”
