Do I Qualify as a FSW Owner/ Operator?
Read the following instructions,
Or talk with us and discuss setting up your unique business plan.
Qualifications of a FSW as an owner/operator:
- You must demonstrate a level of controlling interest in the business*; and

- You must retain a permanent position (must occupy a senior position or one of the senior positions in the company without the possibility of termination).
Qualifying candidate for New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program employment stream, on the other hand, is exactly the opposite^ that the applicant must not be a majority shareholder of the Company. Thus, the strategy of applying under New Brunswick program is different from the FSW program described here.
Please talk to our immigration consultant if you think you cannot qualify under the FSW, but is willing to settle and start business in New Brunswick or any other Provinces that may have a lower criteria for immigration.
