Hello Global Entrepreneur!

Startup owners and entrepreneurs like you know that the environment you choose to grow your business in — from government support and public understanding to the availability of skilled employees and access to investments — matters towards growth and success. All of this matters even more if you’re a purpose-driven entrepreneur seeking to make an impact.

In 2019, Canada was recognized by the Thomson Reuters Foundation as the best country for social entrepreneurs among the world’s 45 largest economies.

With the infrastructure to help support impact businesses, Canada has seen an uptick in success for entrepreneurs focusing on creating a positive and lasting impact on the world. Many of these entrepreneurs are newcomers to Canada from diverse backgrounds.

At Spring Activator, we run a program to support impact entrepreneurs seeking to enter this environment and immigrate to Canada through the Canadian Start-Up Visa.

Our IMPACT Startup Visa Accelerator Program (now virtual!) is a 4-month program that combines the training, mentorship, opportunities, and connections your business needs to unlock growth and crystallize its impact on people and the planet. The program helps participants solidify Canada as the home base for their businesses while supporting their applications for Permanent Resident status in Canada.

Spring Activator is the only IMPACT-focused designated organization for Start-Up Visa applicants.
