Sam from Launch Academy explains who can apply for Canada's startup visa program. If you already live in Canada, you generally can't use this visa to stay, since it's designed for people outside the country looking to immigrate.

Hello, my name is Sam, and I'm the head of programs at Launch Academy. Today we're going to discuss the startup visa program. And the question is, can I join the startup visa program if I live in Canada? So the startup visa program is a government immigration program that's focused on bringing companies that are not currently Canadian. So if you already have a permanent residence or you're already a citizenship and your partner doesn't, then your company cannot apply. Your partner would have to have a new company that is entirely not Canadian to apply for the startup visa program. Hope that helps you on your search.
