Work Permit Changes for Canada Startup Visa Applicants
10 December 2024 | Canada
Important Update: Canada's Startup Visa Program
Recently, the Canadian government made changes to the work permit procedure for applicants for Startup Visas (SUVs). More flexibility and alignment with the needs of innovative entrepreneurs are the goals of these changes.
While waiting for permanent residency, applicants can now choose to apply for either an Open Work Permit or a Closed Work Permit.
Pros & Cons of Work Permit Changes
Open Work Permit
Pros:
- Flexibility to work for any employer in Canada.
- Freedom to explore other opportunities while growing your business.
Cons:
- It may divert focus from building your designated business.
- Potential for additional scrutiny if the connection to the Startup Visa purpose becomes unclear.
Closed Work Permit
Pros:
- Direct connection to your designated business.
- Demonstrates strong commitment to the business idea presented in your Startup Visa application.
Cons:
- For instance, if you are found to be working for an employer not related to your designated business, it could raise questions about your commitment to the Startup Visa purpose.
- You are limited to working solely on your designated business, which can be restrictive.
- Less flexibility to earn supplementary income if needed.
Conclusion
A Closed Work Permit can be a preferable option if your main objective is to ensure your path to permanent residency and devote all of your attention to your chosen firm.
The Open Work Permit, however, can be a good choice if you need more freedom or are seeking for ways to increase your experience in Canada.
