C11 Work Permit Recent Overhaul: NO MORE Easy PR! (With Amir Ismail)
Is the C11 "golden ticket" to Canada really over?
In this crucial, must-watch podcast, we break down the shocking May 2025 overhaul of Canada’s C11 Work Permit policy for foreign entrepreneurs. If you are planning to start a business and transition to PR, this is the information you need right now to avoid a direct refusal!
We’re joined by Canadian immigration expert, Mr. Amir Ismail, to explain exactly what has changed and how you must adapt your strategy. No more CEC! The new rules are complex, stringent, and critical to your success in Canada. 🇨🇦 We dive deep into the specific changes, including:
* The end of C11 experience counting for Express Entry Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
* The mandatory shift towards Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP Entrepreneur streams) for PR. (A two-step process!)
* Strict new enforcement of temporary residence intent (proving you'll leave after expiry).
* The new 51% minimum controlling interest requirement in your Canadian business.
* The "dual funding" rule for segregated business capital and family living expense accounts.
* A reduced maximum permit duration of 18 months.
* Why spousal open work permits are now much harder (requiring high-skilled TEER 0 or 1 roles for the primary applicant).
This isn't just a policy update; it’s a complete restructuring of the path to Canadian permanent residency for business owners. Watch now to stay compliant, prepare a rock-solid business plan that shows significant economic benefit to Canada, and set yourself up for a successful Canadian future!
