Nobody's proposing to eliminate existing visa categories. Indeed, existing visas such as E-2 or EB-5 are good for allowing immigrants to start self-funded businesses. Sam's proposing a new category, for entrepreneurs that aren't bringing their own money.
- danielharan 13y agoNo one was proposing that in Canada either... :(
- simonk 13y agoWhat visa's did we get rid of in Canada?
- danielharan 13y agoFP says the "entrepreneur visa", IIRC it required putting up your own money: http://business.financialpost.com/2013/01/24/startup-visa-program-to-launch-april-1-with-participation-of-cvca-and-naco/?__lsa=b53f-32f7 http://business.financialpost.com/2013/01/24/startup-visa-pr...
- simonk 13y agoYeah, but did you read what people were doing with it. You can hire someone to buy a corner store/franchise and "run" it for a year and then just sell it to someone else coming it. I bet it brought very few jobs to the country.
