Office Hours are 30-minute meetings in which you will be required to book a time with our partners. This is an opportunity in which you can connect directly with professionals in each of the areas, ask any questions specific for your company and to get a better understanding of what needs to be prepared for your landing in Vancouver through the Startup Visa Program. 

Please note that there will be mandatory Office Hours with a few of our partners. Office Hours are designed so that each company has a one-on-one meeting with our partners to talk about personalized needs or ask any questions specific to each company.

The required meetings include:

  1. Incorporation with Whiteboard Law

  2. Immigration with Lobo Law

To book appointments, please follow the instructions in the “Startup Visa Immigration Process” and “Incorporation Process” sections in your Disco course. On each of these pages, there will be instructions on how to contact each of our partners. 

If for any reason you are unable to attend any of the available time slots, it is your responsibility to contact the partner directly and arrange an alternate meeting.
