Start-Up Visa (SUV) monthly entrepreneur immigration to Canada roared back to life, jumping 29.4 per cent in May after a sluggish April, the latest data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) reveals.
In April, SUV immigration had fallen by 27 per cent compared to the previous month despite growth in overall immigration to the country during that month.
In May, though, Canada welcomed 550 new permanent residents through the SUV program, up from 425 in April.
That performance during the fifth month of the year brought SUV immigration almost back to its level of 575 new permanent residents in March.
