Hi ,

Just cam back from first visit to canada.

Most consultants said you have to buy over business completely before applying for LMIA, few said buy conditionally.

Almost everyone was of the opinion that you must visit canada first before applying for LMIA.

Please let me know if you have any specific question, I will try to answer

I have been advised that there is no need to buy a business but rather submit a business plan apply for work permit, after approval register a fresh entity with 100% ownership. This would in-turn bump up the crs score by 200 points as i would be the managing director in the company.

Also, required liquid funds would be in tune of $120K-150K

Thoughts please?

Hi, who told you this? You need to buy business to be eligible to apply for LMIA...

Can you share your source of information.

Prior work experience preferably in the same industry is must for service Canada to approve your designation as owner operated.

I was able to get this visa approved third time. Funds requirement is minimum $2,00,000 and for 200 points you need to establish your new business successfully, file the tax returns, staff your office, complete one year minimum etc. It’s not easy if you don’t have enough money or doesn’t want to invest in.

Congratulations, Did you get it through owner LMIA or any other scheme?

$ 200,000, you mean net worth or investment into Canadian business.
