C11 refers to “Entrepreneurs or self-employed persons seeking temporary residence only – [R205(a)-C11] – International Mobility Scheme”. Such persons seek temporary residence only, usually to operate their existing business (often self-employed) or to satisfy provincial nomination or entrepreneur option requirements. C11 refers to a classification exempt from LMIA.
Provincial nominee entrepreneur immigration applicants or federal entrepreneurial investment immigrant applicants are classified into this category when applying for a work permit. This mainly refers to people who intend to start a business in Canada through self-employment.
