Welcome to the latest issue of Disruption Magazine, where we explore the dynamic and transformative world of travel. The Disruption team has had a blast crafting this issue to be the ultimate companion for your summer vacation, promising not only to entertain but also to inspire your wanderlust and entrepreneurial spirit. We’re plunging into the world of travel, exploring the ingenuity of immigrant entrepreneurs, and the boundless opportunities offered by Canada's startup ecosystem.
This issue’s feature story dives into Canada's Startup Visa Program, a 10-year initiative designed to support global entrepreneurs in their quest to build and scale their businesses within the vibrant Canadian ecosystem. This program not only positions Canada as a hub for innovation but also as a welcoming land of opportunity for dreamers and doers from around the world.
Moving your business across borders is no simple task, so we spoke to two lawyers with expertise in helping entrepreneurs who want to immigrate as a startup. We provide insights and firsthand accounts from those who have navigated the complexities of building a business in a new country, offering valuable lessons and inspiration.
