Self-employed immigration to Canada
Before examining the conditions of the self-employment immigration program to Canada, the question arises, what is meant by self-employment in the Canadian immigration system?
A self-employed person is a foreign worker who meets all the conditions for self-employment immigration mentioned below and, in addition to all of them, convinces the immigration officer that he has the ability to start his own business. Having a relevant background as well as deciding to earn a living from self-employment in which you have mastered is the key to success in obtaining permanent residence in Canada through self-employment.
Relevant work experience
Desire to remain self-employed in Canada
Willingness and ability to contribute specifically to a specific business activity in Canada
Also, the person applying to immigrate to Canada through self-employment must prove that he has the ability to start a business in Canada and can create a job for himself. It is possible to prove this in several ways.

Self-employed immigration micro-privileges
The scenario and case of Canadian self-employed professors
The first master’s case
Maryam works in the field of photography. His photos have been published in magazines such as National Geographic and magazines at that level. Maryam has won many international awards in the field of photography and has been engaged in this activity for the last 5 years. Is he qualified to immigrate to Canada through self-employment?
Yes. Maryam’s work experience is acceptable for immigrating to Canada through the self-employed immigration program.
The second mastery case
An example of a self-employment visa application that was rejected by Immigration Canada is given below:
Drama teacher Leila, who teaches acting and drama courses full-time in Poland, Germany and Austria, was rejected in her application to immigrate to Canada through the self-employment program.
The immigration officer’s opinion was that although Leila works at the international level, she is not known globally. Also, Leila is employed full-time and is not self-employed. Also, the officer has evaluated Laila’s business plan as weak.
The third master’s case
Another example that was unsuccessful in Canada’s self-employment program was Ali’s case, who applied to immigrate to Canada through self-employment and his business plan was in the field of Iranian traditional medicine. Ali claimed that although traditional medicine is considered a medical activity, it is a kind of cultural activity and cannot be separated from culture.
The officer’s opinion on this matter was that:
Traditional medicine is not acceptable as a cultural activity.
The fourth case study
Reza, who has a long history in the field of acting, planned to start a theater school in Vancouver and his application to immigrate to Canada through the self-employment program was rejected even though he met all the conditions. Reza had personally immigrated to Canada and had not used the services of immigration consultants.
Reza goes to the Canadian Master Visa office and asks for the reason. After receiving Reza’s complete file from the Immigration Department and studying the points mentioned by the officer in his file, we realized that the reason for Reza’s rejection was that the officer was not convinced that Reza has the ability to start his own business. He also mentioned that Reza has no teaching experience. For this reason, he rejected Reza. In terms of scoring, Reza had a much higher score than the minimum 35 points required and met all the other requirements. It should be noted that the officer mentioned that Reza’s English level was too weak to start a business.
A very important and significant point in the self-employment program is for the officer to be convinced that you have the ability to start your own business in addition to having all the conditions for self-employment immigration.
