Canada's dynamic startup ecosystem is bolstered by a network of business incubators that provide essential support to early-stage companies. These incubators offer mentorship, access to funding, and industry connections, facilitating the growth and success of startups across various sectors.

CBGA has curated a list of recommended business incubators recognized by the Canadian government as designated organizations authorized to issue letters of support for the Start-Up Visa Program. This guide highlights incubators that align with our standards for fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.

For entrepreneurs aiming to immigrate to Canada through the Start-Up Visa Program, securing a letter of support from a designated organization is a crucial requirement. Business incubators are among the entities authorized to provide this support. Engaging with a recognized incubator not only fulfills a key immigration criterion but also offers startups valuable resources to establish and scale their businesses in Canada.
