An article featured in last Friday’s Financial Post makes the case for Canada being one of the best countries in the world for immigrants to start a business.
Among the factors that make Canada such a welcoming place for immigrant entrepreneurs are its business friendly environment and immigration program, says author Chris Riddell:
The World Bank labelled Canada the best place in the G-7 to start a business, and thanks to an open immigration policy, a comparatively easy one to enter. Add a strong banking system, growing job market, and high standard of living, and it’s no wonder it tops immigrant entrepreneurs’ list.
For many, the government’s Start-Up Visa launched in April is making Canada an even more appealing place.
For business people considering Canada as a destination for immigration, there are three points to consider:
Taken together, it suggests that:
1) immigrants who arrive through economic class non-business immigration programs, like the FSWP, are likely not at a significant disadvantage compared to their business class counterparts in their chance of creating a successful business, that
2) Immigrants are likely more entrepreneurial than the general population, and that
3) Many immigrant business people fail for the few that succeed.
Matt Man, a successful immigrant businessman profiled for Riddell’s article, advises immigrants who are starting their business to try to get as much face-time as possible to improve their chance of success:
“Face to face can always make up for some of what I lost due to my accent or the way I’m communicating.”
