Can I take the course if I'm not a Start-Up Visa Applicant?
Sure, this course will benefit you if you are an existing entrepreneur or starting your business from scratch. To take this course, your business activity doesn't need to be entangled with the Start-Up Visa Program.

How can I pay for the course?

If you are a Startup Visa Applicant
Do all team members need to enroll for this course, or one person per team is enough?
Immigration is an individual process, even though it is a team effort. It means that it is very beneficial for every person to complete the course, receive an individual Certificate of Completion, and be ready to run a business in Canada.
Is this course mandatory for Start-Up Visa Applicants?
It is not mandatory by IRCC standards. But IRCC never advises applicants on best practices; IRCC assesses applicants’ own best efforts. It is a private course created for Startup Visa Applicants out of a practical need to be ready for the actual operation of a business in Canada. It may be considered as part of active and operational business activities. So, as an outcome, you are not only learning a lot but also receiving the Certificate of Completion, which can be submitted to the IRCC as proof of your intentions and readiness to run a business in Canada.
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.
