Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Canada

Canada Dept: Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said Thursday the move will put Canada ahead of its competitors, such as Australia, the United Kingdom and United States, where entrepreneurs are offered only temporary residency, and their ultimate status hinges on business success, according to The Star. Recruiting dynamic entrepreneurs from around the world will help Canada remain competitive in the global economy. Ottawa hopes to lure innovative entrepreneurs from abroad to Canada by offering them permanent residency. Our new Start-Up Visa will help make Canada the destination of choice for the world s best and brightest to launch their companies, said Kenney, who is planning a trip to Silicon Valley, the world s start-up capital, to find foreign entrepreneurs looking for a permanent home.
