Canadian Owner Operator Visa
The Owner Operator immigration program is considered one of the most successful immigration programs in Canada, which is possible through registering a company or setting up an independent business in this country, and it is considered a very attractive option for many applicants to immigrate to Canada. This immigration program can be the best choice in order to obtain residency for candidates who have shares or management experience. Canadian immigration owner operator is a part of the temporary work immigration methods, which of course can be converted into a permanent work permit.
Firstly, obtaining a Canadian Owner Operator visa requires observing several essential points, which are:
- Having a fixed deposit in valid Canadian bank accounts for a short period of time
- Having a managerial career record of at least three years
- Buying and establishing a business unit or company in Canada (having a physical address in Canada)
- Knowledge of English language (up to IELTS score 5, in some cases up to 6 score is recommended.)
- Inactivity in any job for a period of one year (only the applicant’s companion can work as an Open Work Permit.)
- Obtaining LMIA from the Canadian Labor Department (you will get this license if you prove that registering the company in Canada and setting it up in the future will greatly contribute to the economy of this country.)
In the owner operator work visa, the applicant must first start or buy a business unit or company in Canada, then inform the Canadian Labor Department that his presence as a manager in this business unit is mandatory and on the other hand prove that hires the required manpower and pays the necessary salaries. (In some Canadian provinces, it is mandatory to have a representative who resides in that province.) If the Canadian Labor Department is well convinced, it will issue an LMIA letter to the applicant. After receiving this letter, the candidate can apply for a work visa to the Canadian Immigration Department. Finally, if the Immigration Department agrees to his request, the Canadian work visa will be issued.
You should keep in mind that for one year until the PR request is submitted, the applicant does not have any income and is only trying to prove that his company has continued to operate during this one year. After one year, the person will be able to apply for PR and after going through this procedure, he can work in the job of his choice without any restrictions. At the same time, in this situation that the visa of the main applicant allows him to work only for his business unit, the applicant’s spouse can receive an Open Work Permit work visa, and based on this certificate, the accompanying person is allowed to work for any employer.
- The Owner Operator immigration program is applicable in all Canadian provinces except Quebec.
What is LMIA?
Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a letter issued by the Canadian Labor Department, based on which it is certified that the employment of a non-Canadian person will not have a negative impact on the Canadian labor market, and also the employer emphasizes that the employment opportunities of the native Canadian workforce are not occupied by foreign applicants.
