Company Milestones
Milestones are targets that are thoughtfully crafted to be both challenging and achievable, ensuring they drive substantial progress towards the growth of your company throughout the duration of your program.
These milestones will also assist you in building the strongest possible immigration case for your company, ensuring that you have valid proof to demonstrate to the government that you:
Have a qualitative project that prioritizes innovation and maintains active business operations within Canada. Contribute to Canada’s economy by creating job opportunities, generating revenue, and engaging with Canadian customers and suppliers. Maintain continuous business operations, evidenced by activities such as office rentals, social media publishing, annual reports, and communication with government and banks.

A timeline and clear expectation of when the product will be made commercially available.
Milestone 2: Building a Sales Pipeline Strategy
