Ontario has provided more detail on a new Canada immigration project to recruit 100 international entrepreneurs to invest $200,000 each to start or buy businesses outside the Greater Toronto Area.

The province announced Tuesday it had selected the Toronto Business Development Centre (TBDC) to work with the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) to develop and launch the Entrepreneur Pilot.

The TBDC was selected following a public bidding process.

“The jobs and investments these businesses generate will help to support soon to be selected regions needing the most help recovering from COVID‑19,” an OINP statement said.

The two-year pilot was originally announced in December 2021.

Under the existing Entrepreneur Stream of the OINP, the province aims to help regions hit hard by the pandemic by attracting $20 million in investment.

The Ontario government hopes the pilot will create jobs in sectors including information technology, life sciences and tourism.

Applicants will be nominated for permanent residence once their business has been operating in Ontario for 18 to 20 months.
