What is the C11 Work Permit?
Amongst the many business immigration options available, the C11 Work Permit route offers a unique pathway for foreign entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors to come to Canada to do business. Despite the promising opportunities it provides, the C11 program remains one of the best-kept secrets of Canadian immigration.Well, we at Sobirovs are committed to lifting the veil of secrecy! Below we demystify the C11 program and offer a comprehensive breakdown of this business immigration option, including how to determine your eligibility, what the process is like and some essential application tips we’ve lifted from our practice. The program has recently been updated for 2023, and this guide has the most up-to-date information.
The C11 Entrepreneur Work Permit was created under the International Mobility Program (IMP) and allows foreign entrepreneurs and investors to obtain a work permit in Canada as self-employed individuals. The Initial work permit is usually issued for two years and can be extended several times, provided that your business in Canada is active and profitable. Self-employed entrepreneurs and business owners in Canada operating their businesses under the C11 work permit may eventually become eligible for permanent residence in Canada.
Who Should Apply for a C11 Entrepreneur Work Permit?
The C11 work permit is suitable for the following categories of individuals: The following are business immigration programs that are created on the federal level.

Is the process of visa application time-consuming? If one submits documents without any complications and authentic documents the process takes less time.

All this depends on which country and category you wish to apply for.
Comprehensive Services
My application was declined due to poor advice. Can I reapply quickly? If not, when can I do it next? It depends on at what stage your application was declined. If no misrepresentation exists, then the new visa can be applied and the process can be done quickly.
