The Entrepreneur Stream in Ontario Closes

Following the pause on accepting Entrepreneur Stream applications that took effect on December 4, 2023, the government of Ontario is implementing amendments to the program to wind-down and close the stream.

  • All Entrepreneur Stream applications currently in process will continue in accordance with the updated regulations.
  • Under the updated regulations, current applicants may be eligible for a nomination for permanent residence based on the commitments they have made to establish their business in Ontario.

The authorities will contact all current applicants to the Entrepreneur Stream, and their authorized representatives, with more information and next steps regarding their applications.
