WHY SHOULD YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE C11 PROGRAM?
C11 is a work permit program for individuals and entrepreneurs who are allowed to conduct business freely in Canada (excluding Quebec). Entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals must demonstrate that their business activities in Canada will generate SIGNIFICANT economic, social, or cultural benefits for Canadian citizens or permanent residents. The three categories under the C11 program are:
Economics – Business
Social – Individual athletes in sports
Culture – Individuals with unique skills participating in cultural activities
The initial work permit to operate a business in Canada will be valid for a period of two years and may be extended if the company continues to actively engage in business
