Webinar – Think8 Global Institute as a Designated Organization Explains Its Role in the Start-Up Visa Program
– Marianella Manzur | Mark Shekter | SUV
The Start-Up Visa program in Canada is designed to attract and retain talented entrepreneurs worldwide. By providing a supportive and collaborative environment for entrepreneurs, Canada is able to foster innovation and contribute to the growth of its entrepreneurial ecosystem.
In the upcoming Joorney live webinar, we are discussing the Start-Up Visa program, specifically one of its requirements that includes a third party in your or your client’s application – the designated organizations.
A designated organization is a government-approved venture capital firm, angel investor group, or accelerator program that provides promising start-ups with financing, business coaching, and other services.
Joorney Business Plans Canada is not a legal professional, immigration consultant, lawyer, or advisor. Hence we are delighted to bring you experts on every topic we cover.
This time, we are bringing an expert from one of Canada’s designated organizations: Mark Shekter, CEO of Think8 Global Institute.
He will answer some of the most pressing questions about
- Start-Up Visa requirements
- A designated organization’s role
- The Letter of Support
- Think8 program details
- Industries Think8 works with
- …and more!
You will also be able to ask your own questions – while registering and live – and get more information from Mark during the webinar.
