Frequently Asked Questions

What is the business immigration stream?

Under this program, newcomers to Newfoundland and Labrador can immigrate to the province if they plan to establish or invest in a business. The business immigration stream is part of the province's nominee program and comprises two categories:

International entrepreneur – individuals who meet net worth and other requirements.
International graduate entrepreneur – recent graduates of Memorial University or College of the North Atlantic. International graduate entrepreneurs must also meet net worth and other requirements.

What kinds of documentation do you need?

Typical pieces of documentation include bank statements, transaction records of investments, deeds of property, and financial statements for companies. Documentation requirements vary based on country of origin. BDO works with you and with its BDO colleagues around the world to assess these documents and provide assurances to Newfoundland and Labrador's Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism.

What is a net worth verification report?

A net worth verification report outlines an applicant's verified net worth in Canadian dollars and details how the assets were accumulated. It also highlights any issues that may arise during the review of the financial documentation. The government requires this information to ensure applicants accepted under the program will invest in or establish a business.

How long will the process take?

You will generally receive your net worth verification report within the month, though duration will depend on your specific situation. Throughout the process, the BDO team keeps in mind the timelines set by the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism.
