What is Canada C11 Program?
The Canada C11 program, part of the International Mobility Program (IMP), grants an LMIA-exempt work permit to foreign entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals to launch, buy, or run a business in Canada. It targets those offering significant economic, social, or cultural benefits like job creation and innovation, without mandatory investment minimums. This pathway supports family relocation, nationwide business expansion, and permanent residency options, with 2025 updates demanding stronger business plan evidence.
