The applicant must:

Have a personal net worth of:

o At least $250,000 CDN if starting or buying a business outside the corporate boundaries of Yellowknife, NWT
Have an additional $75,000 kept in a trust account and released upon completion of a Performance Agreement based on a business proposal
Demonstrate a reasonable knowledge and understanding of the NWT and its economy
Be able to demonstrate reasonable communication skills appropriate to the NWT
Have the necessary experience and education to successfully implement the business plan

Process:
FACE-TO-FACE INTERVIEW
All applicants will be required to participate in a face-to-face interview as part of the assessment process. The purpose of the interview is to discuss the applicant’s business plan, to assess the applicant’s knowledge of the NWT, and to assess the applicant’s communication skills. Applicants are strongly encouraged to meet with Department officials during any visit to the NWT – these meetings may be recognized as satisfying the requirements for an interview.


APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS
The applicant must submit an application and business plan for review by the Assistant Deputy Minister (ADM) of Industry, Tourism and Investment (ITI). This review may involve other government departments and agencies deemed necessary. Once an applicant is accepted and the business plan is implemented, a nomination certificate for permanent residency will be issued to CIC.


It seems that NWT shorter time for processing while Saskechwan can take upto 6 months to get the decistion on your file to be accepted to start processing.
If you are approved, you will be nominated.

In NWT, if you are approved, they will ask you to apply for TRV to start your business. If your business is progressing, you will get nominated
Other than the weather factor in NWT, would you recommend it? I am a bit terrifed from NWT but the only thing which attract me to start my business there is the time.

An important factor which may also play a major role, if in the future I want to apply a work permit for one of my relitive ( arranged employment) which one will be easier considering the fact its within the NOC
Any suggestion?

Hi All,I did my landing last month and had to come back to Dubai to go back in a years time.One surprising thing I found was there was no Immigration/Passport Control check when I did the exit from Canada.My question is how do they(meaning the CIC/Canadian Govt ) know when I did my exit from Canada?

U r unnecessarily contacting ur IO now.
It usually takes 3-5 months to get PPR after the meds submission. Thus before 4-months [16-weeks] one shouldn't be getting impatient. That response to u from ur IO is just a 'curt reply'... practically it means nothing... theoretically it suggests that ur RMO is yet assessing ur meds, even if it's of one member in ur family [which I doubt].

Qorax
Ps.: As re. ur DMP sending ur med reports -- 99% they'd submit all urs together, in one bundle... they try saving on courier charges everytime.
Hi Qorax,
Got ECAS updated with 'Medical results have been received' line - prob yesterday.
Does it imply meds have been cleared and PPR is next?
PCC, updated scedule-A, birth cert's and updated passport copies (computerised) were provided earlier and ECAS status has been 'IN PROCESS' since 5 July 2011.
Please advise.
