The Canada Economic Action Plan of 2014 replaces its dysfunctional Federal Investors Program and Federal Entrepreneur Program with new pilot programs that will meet Canada’s market and economic needs.
These new programs called the Start Up Visa and the Self-employed persons aims to bring qualified people into Canada who can help fuel Canada’s economic engine.
“The Self-Employed Persons Program seeks to bring people who will become self-employed in Canada. They must have either:
- relevant experience in cultural activities or athletics, and
- intend and be able to make a significant contribution to the cultural or athletic life of Canada, or
- experience in farm management, and
- intend and be able to buy and manage a farm in Canada.”
