There are three classes of business immigrants:

Entrepreneurs
Under the Entrepreneur Program, you must be have previous business experience and when you move to Canada, you will need to own and actively manage a business that contributes to the Canadian economy and creates jobs in Canada.  A minimum net worth of CAN $300,000 is required which does not have to be in form of cash.  You will be subject to certain conditions when you arrive in Canada.
Investors
If you have previous business experience and a minimum net worth of CAN $800,000, and if you agree to lend CAN $400,000 to the Government of Canada at 0% interest for five years, you may qualify for an investor's visa.  Your CAN $400,000 is placed with the Receiver General of Canada and the Government will  return your investment to you after five years.  You may borrow the CAN $400,000 from a Canadian bank and invest that money with the Government of Canada but you would need to pay the interest costs for the five years (approximately C$ 120,000).  We can arrange the C$ 400,000 loan for you, if you have the C$ 120,000 plus other required expenses. 
Self-employed persons
If you have a minimum two years of work experience:
  • self-employed in cultural activities or in athletics, and
  • participation at a world-class level in cultural activities or athletics, or
  • if you have farm management experience,

and you intend to establish a business in Canada that will create employment for yourself, you may be eligible to apply under the self-employed person class.
