7 Key Advantages of Canada’s Start-Up Visa for Turkish Families

For many Turkish families, Canada is more than a destination. It is a promise of stability, opportunity and a better future. Canada Start-Up Visa (SUV) provides not just a business pathway, but a family solution: permanent residency, education, healthcare and eventually, citizenship.

Here are 7 powerful reasons why Turkish families are choosing the Start-Up Visa in 2025.

1. Permanent Residency from Day One

Once your business idea is backed by a designated Canadian incubator, angel group or venture capital fund, you and your family can apply directly for permanent residence (PR). There’s no need to prove your company’s success before applying.

2. Family Coverage in a Single Application

Your spouse and dependent children under 22 can be included in the same application. From day one, your partner can work, and your children can enroll in Canadian schools as permanent residents.

3. Work While Your PR Is Processed

Applicants and key team members can obtain a temporary work permit, allowing you to move earlier, launch your business, and let your family begin their new life while waiting for PR approval.

4. Lower Language Barrier

SUV requires only CLB 5 (intermediate) in English or French. For many Turkish families who are still building language skills, this makes the program accessible and family-friendly.

5. Big Savings on Education

This is one of the biggest advantages for Turkish families. Once your children are PR holders, they qualify for domestic tuition fees instead of international rates.

International students in Canada often pay CAD 25,000–40,000 per year for university. Permanent residents, however, typically pay CAD 6,000–9,000 per year—a difference of more than CAD 100,000 across a degree. PR children can also access government scholarships and loans, which foreign students cannot.

6. World-Class Healthcare and Safety

As permanent residents, your family gains access to Canada’s universal healthcare system, consistently ranked among the best for quality of care and access. For Turkish families seeking stability, this is an invaluable advantage.

 7. Clear Path to Citizenship and Passport

After living in Canada for 3 of 5 years as PRs, your family can apply for Canadian citizenship. This means access to a Canadian passport—among the world’s strongest, with visa-free travel to 185 countries.

Why It Matters for Turkish Families

 SUV is more than an immigration program, it is a family plan. From major tuition savings and healthcare access to long-term citizenship, it ensures both business growth and personal security.
