My small business was growing in almost every way imaginable. Every way except the bottom line, that is. My company primarily does business over the phone, with over ninety percent of our sales coming across our telephone lines. When our call volume started to increase late last year, I hired several new employees to man our existing phone system. We updated our computer software, desktops and server to make order processing substantially smoother. We redesigned our website for easy navigation and ordering for internet customers. We even integrated our shipping department to handle an increase in orders. The phones were ringing off the hook several times throughout the day as our business increased, and we started to see a slight shift in the right direction for our profits.

This year, Canada plans to admit up to 265,000 new immigrants, but like every country looking to attract immigrants from far flung corners of the world has both skilled workers and investors at high on the immigration wish-list. Canada is no exception to this rule. Investors naturally bring money into the Canadian economy as well as providing some much needed goods and services and increased employment opportunities. Nevertheless, the global economic crisis has taken its toll on the number of business people applying for this type of immigrant visa and only 11,600 Business Class visas are expected to be given in 2010. Canada immigration is still keen to bring in “fresh blood” – successful foreign entrepreneurs who have knowledge and access to other markets outside of Canada. Canada’s rigorous campaign to attract investors has resulted in this group of immigrants making up around 10% of the total immigration, market. To this end Canada has offices in several Canadian embassies, who are dedicated to serve the Business Class entrepreneur and investor. Specific target countries for the Business Class Programme are within Europe, France, UK and Germany (Paris,...more
