Immigrate to Canada from Pakistan

Thinking about starting a new life in Canada? You’re not alone. Thousands of Pakistanis immigrate to Canada every year in search of better education, economic opportunities, safety, and a brighter future for their families.

Whether you’re a student, skilled worker, entrepreneur, or looking to reunite with family, Canada offers multiple immigration pathways — and understanding the right one for you is the first step.

Why Canada Is Attracting Pakistani Entrepreneurs

Every year, thousands of Pakistanis choose to settle in Canada for its:

✅Economic security
✅ Multicultural society
✅ Access to world-class healthcare and education
✅ Business-friendly environment
✅ Affordable immigration programs designed for investors, innovators, and startup entrepreneurs

And while options like Express Entry and PNP are highly competitive, the Start-Up Visa is still underutilized — and wide open to high-potential applicants from Pakistan.

What Is the Start-Up Visa (SUV) Program?

The Start-Up Visa Program is a unique Canadian immigration pathway for non-resident entrepreneurs who want to build innovative, scalable businesses in Canada.

Unlike most immigration programs, SUV is not based on your age, degree, or job title — it’s based on your idea and your ability to execute it with the support of an approved Canadian business incubator or investor.

That’s right — if your idea has potential, you can get Permanent Residency.

What Kind of Ideas Qualify?

Your business must be innovative, scalable, and able to create jobs in Canada.

✅Tech Startups (AI, SaaS, FinTech, MedTech)
✅ E-commerce &logistics platforms
✅ Green tech or sustainability-focused products
✅ Marketplaces or apps with global potential
✅ Unique service-based platforms or mobile solutions

SUV Application Requirements for Pakistani Candidates

To apply for the Start-Up Visa, you must:

  1. Secure  a Letter of Support from a designated Canadian incubator, angel investor group, or venture capital fund
  2. Have CLB 5 in IELTS General Training (just 5.0 in each skill)
  3. Show proof of settlement funds
  4. Demonstrate active involvement in managing business

Why Pakistanis Are Choosing the Start-Up Visa in 2025

With Express Entry cutoffs staying high and PNP allocations dropping across provinces, the SUV route is becoming the smartest long-term immigration strategy for Pakistani entrepreneurs.

You don’t need a job offer. You don’t need Canadian experience.
You just need a great idea — and the right team behind you!
