It is an online course designed to educate the participants of the Start-Up Visa program about the general rules, regulations, concepts, business administration, and business environments in Canada.
What does the ABCS stand for?
Analyze, Build, Collaborate, Scale, which are titles for each of the four modules that cover the topics respectively.
How long and intense is the course?
The course is pre-set for four months of online self-study, as a fully digitized program available at any time at your fingertips. The information is presented in four modules, each containing four weeks of classes covering four topics per week, with quizzes and tests incorporated into it. Intake time - anytime. The Certificate of Completion is issued immediately after the course is done and transferred to you and copied to us as your representatives to be ready for IRCC inquiries.
Are there any tests involved in the course?
At the end of each module, the participants are offered to provide multiple-choice answers to 16 questions designed to cover topics included in the module.
Can I take the course if I'm not a Start-Up Visa Applicant?

If you are a Startup Visa Applicant
Do all team members need to enroll for this course, or one person per team is enough?
It is recommended that each team member completes the course to demonstrate their individual activity and involvement.
Is this course mandatory for Start-Up Visa Applicants?
While the Ideation Course is highly recommended to strengthen your application especially in situations when IRCC requests confirmation for business development and entrepreneurs’ readiness to run Canadian business successfully, it is not explicitly mandatory as per IRCC requirements to complete this specific course. However, our experience shows that competition of such course has a positive impact on the application process.
If all of our team members take this course, can we all use the same online link for payment, or will you send us individual emails with links?
The course takes four months. The information is presented in four modules, each containing four weeks of classes covering four topics per week.
Are there any tests involved in the course?
Every student will receive his/her invoice separately to the email.
If I'm not happy with my score after a quiz, can I retake it to improve it?
Just like any other exam, it is a one-time option to pass. Since the exam form is provided to the student group as a whole, it is not available individually. However, you will still be able to continue to the next module and will continue to receive invites to topics and future exams.
