I am very new to the business stream and would appreciate some advice. Hypothetical scenario: a qualified person from a NON-visa exempt country sees an interesting business with a 2 year lease and further 5 year lease available. How would they be able to make this deal happen in a timely fashion? Would a lease satisfy the requirements or would the business have to be purchased outright? In BC, where an exploratory visit is strongly recommended, how long does it take to get a visa? Thanks.
