Federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Entrepreneurs

Kevin O Leary Dept: Federal immigration minister Jason Kenney was expected to announce in Toronto on Wednesday the next step in launching a Startup Visa program, one that would attract entrepreneurs who are rich in ideas rather than cash, according to The Star. The minister s office was unable to provide further details Tuesday and in the global competition for entrepreneurial talent, Ottawa is hoping a new kind of immigration program will help attract the next Google founder not just more convenience store investors. While the details were vague, Kenney and Dragon s Den TV star and venture capitalist Kevin O Leary were to announce the government s intention to create a Startup Visa program, according to an advisory put out by the minister s office late Tuesday.
