What is the difference between a startup lawyer and an immigration lawyer?

You may have heard the term “startup lawyer,” but how does a startup lawyer differ from other lawyers for other immigration programs?

In immigration programs such as study or investment, the whole process of moving forward is a legal process. But in the startup program, not only do you have to go through legal procedures, but you also need to present a project from a technical point of view with complete documentation.

The basic requirement for obtaining a Canadian startup visa is to have an innovative business idea presented in a business plan. This business plan must be written in such a way that approved companies are encouraged to invest in your idea. Therefore, you need a lawyer who not only looks at your case from a legal perspective but also analyzes and examines the Canadian market to prepare a powerful and unique business plan for you.

What to expect from a startup lawyer:

• Providing advice and innovative and up-to-date business ideas
• Analyzing the Canadian market to write a business plan
• Providing financial schedules and economic planning for the business plan
• Writing a precise and comprehensive business plan
• Collecting and reviewing accurate documents
• Submitting documents and following legal procedures
• Communicating with Canadian investment companies and receiving support letters
• Implementing the idea and producing a startup product (prototype)
• Obtaining a work permit for the applicant before receiving permanent residence
• Obtaining permanent residence for all family members

Note that providing weak documents, repetitive and non-specialized business plans, and not providing a sample product will all lead to the rejection of your case. Therefore, using a specialized lawyer who accompanies you from presenting the idea to implementing it, and from preparing the documents to registering and obtaining permanent residence, is of special importance.
