Ottawa to invest $3 million in Ontario

The Federal capital city of Canada is Ottawa, and the name is derived from the Algonquin word Adawe, meaning "to trade." Over the past years, Ottawa has become Canada's largest high-tech city, invested $3 million in the past week into an Ontario business incubator's network to promote the start-up businesses of the international entrepreneurs and help them obtain permanent residence in Canada.

"The importance of global business attraction and its role in recovering the economic development of Canada is recognized by our government," stated Helena Jaczek, the Minister. She is responsible for the Federal Economic Agency for Southern Ontario.

Canada Start-up Visa Program

The Start-up Visa Program aims to recruit talented entrepreneurs who want to dive into the world of entrepreneurship and acquire permanent residency in Canada. This is to put them in touch with the private sector businesses in Canada, such as venture capital funds or business incubators and angel investor groups, and promote the establishment of their start-up business in Canada.
