About

A national platform for measurable impact

We exist to publicly demonstrate the contribution immigrant entrepreneurs make to Canada — and the cost of slowing that contribution down.

Startup Visa Impact Canada is an independent transparency initiative that tracks startups founded by immigrants across Canada. We publish verified economic, innovation and employment data — and quantify the impact of immigration processing delays on the national economy.
