Office Hours

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 area, ask any questions specific to your company, and 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 2 Office Hours with our partners. Office Hours are designed so that each company has a one-on-one meeting with our partners to discuss personalized needs or ask any questions specific to each company.

The meetings include:

  1. Incorporation office hour

  2. Immigration office hour

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.
