Canadian Immigration for Business Owners: 2026 Updates

Are you a business owner, investor, or intracompany transferee looking to immigrate to Canada in 2026? In this video, Rita Benkhalti, Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) at North Horizon Immigration, explains the major changes affecting business owners seeking Canadian permanent residency. Over the last two years, many entrepreneurs found it increasingly difficult to qualify for permanent residence through Express Entry.

Changes introduced in 2024 and 2025 reduced opportunities for senior managers and business owners, making it challenging to receive an invitation to apply. However, 2026 brings important new opportunities. In this video, you'll learn:

• Why business owners and senior managers faced challenges obtaining permanent residency after 2024

• How the new Express Entry category for senior managers could benefit entrepreneurs operating businesses in Canada

• What the upcoming high-wage occupation points could mean for investors and skilled workers

• How NOC codes and wage levels may affect your eligibility

• What these changes mean for foreign investors planning to start or purchase a business in Canada

If you are considering opening a business in Canada or transitioning from a work permit to permanent residence, this video will help you understand the latest immigration developments and how they may impact your strategy.
