Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Canadian Investor

Brilliant Business Plan Dept: If you have a brilliant business plan and a Canadian investor who bets on your vision, Canada s door is open for you, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said Wednesday, floating the idea of a new startup visa program for foreign entrepreneurs, according to The Star. Entrepreneurs need to dream big and they can t be afraid to take risks . . . We d like to attract more of these bright innovators and entrepreneurs, who can create companies, hi-tech and other value-added businesses, that have the potential to create hundreds of jobs. Amid a global economic slowdown, Ottawa hopes to capitalize on its rock-star status by inviting innovative entrepreneurs abroad to bring their next big idea to Canada. There is no doubt immigrants are among our most creative and successful entrepreneurs and investors. They are people who left behind what s familiar to them in order to take a huge chance on an uncertain future to pursue their dreams, Kenney said at a Toronto news conference.
