This program is classified in two types:

Self Employed-To qualify under self employed program, you must have two years of relevant experience and proven your intention to establish yourself in Canada. Relevant experience will be considered if you have been involved in cultural activities or athletics at world Class. As of March 2018, Canada no longer accepts new applications under the farm management stream.
Start-up Visa Program- Under this program, an immigrant entrepreneur with relevant skills and potential to build businesses in Canada needs to get recommendation from a designated organization or partner, industry association. The immigrant entrepreneur should have an investment or support.
Candidates can also apply for short-term work permit under the international mobility program before applying for permanent residence under the Start-up Visa (SUV) Program. Only those who receive a Commitment Certificate and Letter of Support issued by designated entity may be considered for short-term work permit. The designated entity must support the request for work permit.
All aspects like marital status, age, qualification, language proficiency, work experience, and relationship in Canada need acute consideration. A minor ignorance will not only result in the rejection of your application but also ban your entry, jeopardizing your dream of Canadian citizenship.
