Provincial Programs – Farmers

Many provinces (states) of Canada also have nomination programs for Farmers. Once nominated, the Farmer applicant (and qualifying family members) is issued a permanent residence visa by the federal government through their overseas Canadian visa offices.

The Farmers programs generally require the Applicant to demonstrate:

• Previous farm ownership or management experience
• Net Worth – starting from CA$ 150,000
• Minimum investment starting from CA$ 150,000
• Viable Farm management plan
• Sufficient settlement funds
• Convincing willingness to settle in the province
• Ability and willingness to operate a viable business

The Applicant is required to make an exploratory visit to the province, either before submitting or during processing of their nomination application. Most provinces also seek refundable deposits to ensure that the Applicant actually settles in the province. Applicant with difficulty in English, may also be asked to make a deposit, till the time they are able to demonstrate sufficient language capability.

Farmers are expected to purchase a farm in the province.
