Business Category The business program currently falls under three categories of immigrants:     - entrepreneurs     - investors     - self-employed Improved selection criteria will place greater emphasis on entrepreneurs and investors with a strong business background and the capacity to integrate into the Canadian business community. Entrepreneur Currently, those wishing to come to Canada as entrepreneurs must demonstrate their intention and ability to establish, purchase a business or invest in a business in Canada, also their strong documentary proof for their past management experiences and/or business operations(includes bank statement, bank letters, invoices, orders or contracts, tax payment receipts, audited financial statements and claimed properties etc.), and also enough financial resources(normally CDN$250,000 and up) available for the proposed Canadian business venture to start up and get established.
