Process for the

Medium-term Visa for company creation

  • A. Signature of the agreement. Our legal team will look into your case to present it according to the highest standards of government authorities.
  • B. Adapt and work on your business plan. The first step we are working on together is to develop your business plan and adapt it to the prerequisites and guidelines of the Canadian market and immigration authorities. This adapted business plan will be used in your temporary work permit application, as well as to guide you in the creation of your own company.
  • C. Register your company. Our business law team will handle all steps related to the registration of your Canadian company. This includes selecting the appropriate legal structure (federal or provincial), drafting and filing the articles of incorporation, and obtaining the required business numbers. We ensure full compliance with local regulations so that you can start your operations with confidence and peace of mind.
  • D. Gathering of documents and presentation of the application to the Federal immigration authorities (IRCC). You should work with Conexa immigration lawyers to provide an extensive list of documents. They will be your legal representative in order to obtain the work permit.
  • E. Decision by the authorities. After review, the immigration officer will either approve your application as submitted or request additional clarification. In that case, Conexa’s legal team will act on your behalf to respond to inquiries and ensure the smooth progress of your application. The officer may also refuse the application. If so, a detailed analysis of the refusal will be conducted to identify the options available and determine the appropriate next steps.
  • F. Work Permit Approval. Once your online application is approved, the Government of Canada will issue a letter of introduction. This document allows you to apply for your work permit upon your arrival in Canada.After review, the immigration officer will accept your file as is or ask for clarification. In this case, Conexa’s legal team will help answer questions to ensure the case is accepted. The immigration officer can also refuse the file. In this case, if Conexa’s legal department finds that IRCC has not met its obligations, an analysis of the refusal will be done to determine the options to be considered at no additional cost.
  • G.  Business Setup and Implementation
    You arrive in Canada with temporary status through your work permit. Depending on the concierge services selected, we can assist you in finding temporary housing, schools for your children, and offer personalized recommendations to support your settlement. Conexa also provides you with office space in the heart of Old Montreal, along with strategic support to grow your business: access to funding resources, coaching, networking opportunities, and business development assistance.
