Expert Services for Entrepreneurs
Building a Business in Canada
From your first business plan to your permanent residency — Solaris provides every service you need to launch and grow in Canada with confidence.
End-to-End Support, From Idea to Operating Business
Entering the Canadian market is exciting — and complex. Government programs, immigration requirements, business regulations, and market conditions all need to be navigated correctly. One mistake can cost months and thousands of dollars.
Solaris eliminates that risk. We combine business development expertise with deep knowledge of Canadian immigration to provide a complete, coordinated service — so every part of your plan works together from day one.
Start-Up Visa Program (SUV) — Business Plan & Application Support
Canada’s Start-Up Visa is one of the world’s most direct paths from innovative entrepreneur to permanent resident. The program is competitive — and IRCC expects a high-quality, well-structured business plan before your application is considered by a designated organization.
Solaris’s team has extensive experience in investment banking, venture capital, and Canadian immigration — giving us a unique ability to write business plans that satisfy both investors and immigration officers.
- Full Start-Up Visa business plan writing (IRCC-compliant)
- Pitch deck development for designated angel investors and VCs
- Market analysis, financial projections, and competitive research
- Support in identifying and approaching designated organizations
- Up to 5 co-founders supported under one application
Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) Work Permit — Business Plan
If you own an established business abroad and want to expand into Canada, the ICT Work Permit is your most direct pathway. Solaris prepares the comprehensive business plan that Service Canada and IRCC require to approve your application.
- Business plan demonstrating genuine expansion into Canada
- Corporate structure documentation and relationship proof
- Financial analysis and Canadian market rationale
- Pathway planning toward permanent residency after one year
