Self-employed persons:
How to apply

There are two permanent resident application processes for self-employed persons.

You must use the regular process if:

• you have been selected by Quebec
• you have been lawfully admitted to Canada OR the United States for a period of at least one year and you are submitting your application to the Canadian visa office in Buffalo.

You must use the simplified process if none of the above applies to you.

Choose the option that applies to you:

• regular application process
• simplified application process

Quebec has its own business immigration program for people who plan to live there. For more information, visit the Quebec immigration website.
