How do I prove my qualifications to the visa officer?

 At some point in the selection process, you will be called upon to provide documentation to help prove to the visa officer that you do meet the entrepreneur definition. Proof of a successful business management background will help establish that you have the ability to set up and operate a business venture in Canada. You should be prepared to provide business and personal income tax records, audited financial statements, business records, official company organization charts and other documents of this nature. You must also satisfy the visa officer that you have sufficient assets available for your business venture and to establish yourself and your dependents in Canada, for example, bank statements, property and business valuations, share certificates and other documents of this nature. The visa office will tell you what documents to provide and when to submit them. You may be asked to explain any ambiguities, inconsistencies, shortcomings or gaps in these documents in a personal interview with a visa officer.
