What is the C11 Entrepreneur Work Permit?

The C11 work permit is issued under Canada’s International Mobility Program (IMP). It allows entrepreneurs and business owners to operate a business in Canada if they can demonstrate that their venture will bring significant economic, social, or cultural benefits to the country. The C11 permit is an excellent option for individuals who want to establish themselves in Canada while actively managing and expanding their business.

Key Features of the C11 Program

No LMIA Required

The C11 does not require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), making the process more streamlined for qualified applicants.

Pathway to Permanent Residency

While the C11 itself is a temporary work permit, it can be a stepping stone to permanent residency through other immigration pathways.

Significant Benefit Requirement

Applicants must show that their business will provide substantial benefits to Canada, such as job creation, innovation, or contributions to specific industries.
