How We Support
The SUV Program targets immigrant entrepreneurs with the skills and potential to build businesses in Canada that are innovative, can create jobs for Canadians, and can compete on a global scale. We are approved by the Minister to support possible start-ups through SUV by providing business mentoring and network connections. By completing our SUV Incubator, you may be able to immigrate and expand your business to Canada.
Terms of Service
We fulfill the responsibilities of the Designated Organization in relation to Commitment Certificates, Letters of Support, and Incubator programs. We do not offer immigration consulting services nor advise applicants on Permanent Residence and Work Permit applications. Applicants may consider the IRCC guidelines on using an immigration or citizenship representative.

Who We Support
Start-ups at any stage are welcome to apply to the ISM SUV Incubator, and we prioritize those that have an MVP and experienced team members with subject matter expertise, domain knowledge and business backgrounds. If you do not have an MVP but prove to be high potential, we will consider including MVP development as a required component of your program. If we determine you are not fully prepared to enter our SUV Incubator but have potential, you may access our business services to improve your start-up and work towards re-applying in the future.
Based on demonstrated recognition of their business expertise and ability to assess for and support successful start-up business opportunities in Canada, Designated Organizations are venture capital funds, angel investor groups, or business incubators approved by the Minister to invest in or support possible start-ups through the SUV Program.
