Self-Employed Immigration

Self-Employed Immigration is a pathway that allows individuals with relevant experience in cultural, artistic, or athletic activities, or those with experience in farm management, to immigrate to certain countries, like Canada. This immigration route is designed for individuals who can contribute significantly to the country’s economy or culture by establishing themselves as self-employed.

To qualify, applicants generally need to show they have at least two years of experience in their field and demonstrate the intent and ability to become self-employed after immigration. Unlike traditional employment-based immigration, this program does not require a job offer from an employer.

Applicants must also meet other criteria, such as sufficient funds, a clean medical history, and no criminal record. Additionally, they must pass a points-based assessment, which evaluates age, education, language skills, experience, and adaptability.

Successful self-employed immigrants gain the flexibility to continue their professional careers while contributing to the economy of their new home. This program is popular among artists, athletes, freelance professionals, and entrepreneurs looking for new opportunities abroad.
