Self-employed Persons Program for Immigration to Canada

As a consultant specializing in Canadian immigration, it’s crucial to guide clients through the Self-employed Persons Program, offering a pathway to permanent residency in Canada for individuals with experience in cultural activities or athletics. This program is designed for those who can make a significant impact on Canada’s cultural or athletic landscape.

Navigating the application process involves several steps:

1) Online Application:

You can create an account on the Permanent Residence online application portal and complete digital forms, including the Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008) and Schedule A (IMM 5669). However, there is a high risk of potential errors in referencing and document submission, which could lead to application refusal. Our experienced team will handle every aspect of your application process to ensure success.

3) Fee Payment:

Ensure all applicable fees, including biometrics if necessary, are paid at the time of application submission. According to current details, the official application fee is $2,385.

After Application Submission

Once the application is submitted:

• Processing and Verification: Immigration authorities will verify the completeness of the application, including correct form completion and fee payment.
• Biometrics and Additional Requirements: Applicants may need to attend biometrics appointments and fulfill other requests such as medical exams or police certificates.
• Decision Notification: Upon approval, applicants receive their Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and visa, enabling them to settle in Canada permanently.

Preparation for Arrival

Before arriving in Canada:

• Travel Documents: Ensure all necessary travel documents, including COPR and visa, are prepared and up-to-date.
• Financial Preparation: Be ready to demonstrate sufficient funds to support oneself and any dependents.

This program provides a valuable opportunity for self-employed individuals to contribute actively to Canada’s cultural and athletic communities while establishing permanent residency. As a consultancy, it’s essential to guide clients through each step of the process, ensuring compliance with all requirements for a successful application.
