This educational session was presented in Persian (فارسی) for Persian-speaking entrepreneurs navigating Canada's Start-Up Visa (SUV) program. Hosted by GenesisLink, the webinar addressed two intertwined concerns that dominate conversations among SUV applicants today: the current state of the program, and how to make the most of the years between work permit arrival and permanent residency.
