I'm self employed (online marketer) and earn sufficiently well to support myself ($15-30k a month). I've been trying to find a way to move out of India, but there's not really any simpler way to immigrate to a better country. US is totally out of question for self employeds (especially for Indians and Chinese), so I am keen to get into Canada.
But Canada's self employed visa is only for Athletes and singers.. so that's not relevant in my case. And the startup visa is only if I intend to open a new startup in Canada. I run an individual business (solopreneur ) and will be sticking to it. I do have a lot of clients (in US, mostly) from whom I can get a recommendation letter but none from Canada. I do have my company registered in US too.
I've and am making sufficient money, am 23, and have great academic qualification and a lot of experience. Is there no way I can immigrate to Canada? I mean I'll be contributing to their economy..
You're right - you don't qualify under self employed. You will need to look at programs like Federal Skilled Worker / Express Entry and the Provincial Nominee programs. I would recommend you join the Express Entry section of the forum.
I think he need to make much more than that to qualify for EB-5 , below is one the requirement :
Plan to create or preserve 10 permanent full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers.
