Answers for international immigration professionals on CRBI eligibility, process, timelines and partner roles.
Canada Regional Business Immigration (CRBI) refers to Canada's provincial entrepreneur streams — performance-based pathways where qualified business owners establish or acquire a business in Canada and earn permanent residence by meeting economic obligations set by the province.
CRBI requires active, hands-on business management. Permanent residence is earned through operational performance — not financial contribution alone. It favors execution over pitch decks or passive capital placement.
Our work covers business concept engineering, deal sourcing, capital deployment structuring, post-arrival performance oversight, and nomination evidence packaging — everything outside the legal scope of your practice.
Yes. CanadaRBI works exclusively with licensed Canadian immigration lawyers, RCICs, and regulated advisory firms. We do not engage directly with end clients without professional representation.
We review your client's operational profile, capital access, risk tolerance, and program suitability — and recommend the best-fit provincial pathway. No charge to partner firms.
CanadaRBI maintains access to off-market business acquisition opportunities and closed data sources not publicly available. Partner firms gain access to this inventory for client placement.
Nomination can be refused if performance obligations are not met. CanadaRBI's ongoing compliance management is specifically designed to prevent this outcome.
Timelines vary by province, business type, and client profile. The performance phase typically ranges from 12 to 36 months. CanadaRBI supports clients through the full life cycle.
No. CanadaRBI does not provide legal immigration advice. All filings and legal representation must be handled by licensed Canadian professionals. Our role is strictly operational.
