Insights from Susan Gong, DStG, CPA, CA, RCIC — Founder & CEO of Altec Global Inc.
Ontario is preparing a significant reform of its 安大略省移民提名计划（OINP）—and one of the most important changes for investors and business owners is the proposed redesign of the Entrepreneur Stream. Although this proposal is still under consultation and not yet implemented, the direction is already crystal clear: Ontario intends to favor genuine entrepreneurs who are actively operating a business inside the province.
This marks a meaningful shift. In the past, assessments were often focused on what applicants planned to do. In the new direction, the emphasis appears to be shifting toward what you have already done—your real operations, contributions, and business track record in Ontario.
Who Should Pay Attention to This New Pathway?
The individuals most likely to benefit from this redesigned pathway include those who:
Already run an active business in Ontario
Either founded the business 或 acquired an existing one and continued operating it
Want to connect their business growth with a long-term, sustainable immigration pathway
Are committed to local operation, local economic contribution, and long-term presence in Ontario
If this describes you, then the upcoming Entrepreneur Stream may become a highly relevant and strategic opportunity.
Why Begin Preparing Now?
Policy direction is visible—but the final rules, requirements, and timeline are not yet released. Early preparation gives entrepreneurs a head start and avoids the stress of catching up once the program officially launches.
Here’s what you can do now:
✔️ Organize your business operations clearly
Ensure your business has transparent financials, proper documentation, and demonstrable day-to-day activity in Ontario.
✔️ Prepare evidence showing meaningful on-the-ground involvement
This includes payroll records, contracts, leases, tax returns, compliance reports, and other proofs of real operation.
✔️ Align your family and long-term immigration goals
If your intention is to secure permanent residency alongside running your business in Ontario, planning these together will give you an advantage when the new program begins.
Entrepreneurs who prepare early will be in the best position to seize the opportunity when the redesigned stream officially opens.
