Good post... Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but a few other things (from my own research / friends who've migrated): I think the key to remember is that skilled migration in Canada isn't contingent on having a job (which is the case in many other countries) - it's not far off permanent residence. This is quite important if you want to startup, and one of the reasons I was curious about Canada. Also, the Canadian point system isn't as biased against age as many countries. The maximum points for age is a very wide band. As for starting a business, I couldn't see any impediment - even so, in many cases it might be just as easy to incorporate a company in the US (e.g. a Delaware Co).
