Hi everyone, I have just joined this forum and have read some of the threads but with so much to go through, I was hoping one of you good people could help me out with some general info. What I want to know is what are the basic requirements for obtaining a s/e or entrepreneur visa. I believe I require 300,000 CAD and have to start or buy a business with at least 33% holdings and have had some business experience?

Some background: We had also considered the U.S. but the 2yr review makes it a huge risk. Is it similar with Canada? I'm Married, no children, 2 dogs, no criminal records and I previously ran my own business for 12 yrs although that was a few years back. Oh, and we're British but currently living in Brazil but still with connections to the UK.

What chance? Any helpful info would be hugely appreciated.
