Canada welcomed over 200 Start-Up immigrants in 2020
According to data by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Canada admitted 200 permanent residents through the Start-Up Visa in 2020. In 2019, this number was twice bigger for the same period. In total, last year 515 start-uppers immigrated to Canada. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the volume of start-up immigration. Almost half of new start-up candidates settled in Ontario. British Columbia attracted 65 start-uppers while Alberta welcomed another 15. The rest of the start-up entrepreneurs launched their ventures in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Manitoba.
