Entrepreneur Stream closing
Following the pause on accepting Entrepreneur Stream applications that took effect on December 4, 2023, we are implementing amendments to the program to wind-down and close the stream.
You can read the amended regulations on e-Laws:
- Ontario Regulation 439/24 (General)
- Ontario Regulation 438/24 (Approvals under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program and Other Matters)
All Entrepreneur Stream applications currently in process will continue in accordance with the updated regulations. Under the updated regulations, current applicants may be eligible for a nomination for permanent residence based on the commitments they have made to establish their business in Ontario.
We will contact all current applicants to the Entrepreneur Stream, and their authorized representatives, in the coming days with more information and next steps regarding their applications.
If you have any questions, email us at business.immigration@ontario.ca.
