希望申请西北地区提名项目企业家移民类别的申请人，必须在其申请中包括商业计划。
其中在第一阶段初步筛选中，NWTNP商业概念(Business Concept)计划书非常重要。通不过第一阶段筛选，则不会收到申请邀请函(Invitation to Apply)。
获邀参加申请程序第二阶段的申请者必须提交详细的商业计划书。计划书应以第一个申请阶段提供的商业概念为基础。在该计划书中，申请人可以为申请第一阶段提出的主张提供辩护和支持，并可以为其商业概念的潜力进一步提供有力的依据。
商业概念计划书和详细商业计划书，是二位一体，统一的整体，一个为纲，一个为详细内容，需要统筹规划，两个阶段最好委托同一专业人士统一打造，避免行文风格，财务预算，关键判断中出现错漏，不匹配，从而影响全局。
为了增加成功几率，NWTNP商业计划书必须遵循特定的格式并以令人信服的，可信的方式编写。每年NWTNP都会收到非常多的商业计划书，由于质量低下的商业计划，即使是拥有出色的商业概念也会被拒绝，功亏一篑。
总而言之，作为西北地区提名计划的申请人，您必须出示至少两个一流水准的商业计划文档，整个过程中不要对文档的质量抱有侥幸心理，您完全可以依靠我们的商业计划撰写者专业团队的专业知识来使您的申请脱颖而出。

The Business Stream is for people who want to start a business in the NWT, purchase an existing business based here, or invest in and operate an existing business based here.
In the NWT you can expect no wait-list for your application, faster processing times, and real people in the NWT helping you through the process from start to finish.
Do you Qualify?
To apply via the Business Stream, there are some criteria you must meet.
- Applicants must be able to commit to one of the following investments:
- a minimum of $300,000 CDN equity to start or buy a business within Yellowknife; or
- a minimum of $150,000 CDN equity to start or buy a business outside Yellowknife.
2. You must also provide proof that you have a personal net worth of:
- at least $500,000 CDN to start or buy a business within Yellowknife; or
- at least $250,000 CDN to start or buy a business outside Yellowknife.
- Once you are formally accepted into the program, you must also provide a good faith deposit of $75,000 CDN to the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment.
- You must demonstrate you own at least 33.3% of the business, unless your personal equity investment is at least $1,000,000 CDN, in which case you may own less.
- You need to achieve a proficiency of level 4 against the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB 4) in English or the equivalent language level against the Niveaux de competence linquistique Canadiens (NCLC) in French.
- You need to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the NWT and its economy and which businesses will bring significant economic benefit to the territory.
- You must be able to make at least one in-person business trip to the NWT to gain knowledge about the territory’s business environment.
- You need to have the necessary experience and education to successfully implement your proposed business plan.
- And of course, you must be ready and willing to settle full-time right here in the NWT!
How to Apply
If you are interested and think you meet the criteria, download the full application guidelines or contact a member of our team to discuss your application.
Here’s what to expect if you decide to apply:
- First, there is a self-assessment where you determine if you meet the minimum eligibility criteria, as listed above.
- That’s followed by a trip to the NWT for an exploratory visit and face-to-face interview.
- After your visit, we conduct a pre-screening of your business concept and evaluate your interview results. If you are successful, we will formally invite you to apply and submit your application and business plan.
- Your application is then reviewed. If it is approved, we come up with a Business Performance Agreement. This is a two-year legal agreement between the applicant and the Government of the Northwest Territories, outlining the obligations you must fulfill in order to receive a nomination certificate.
After that, it’s over to you to develop and run your business! If successful, you are nominated for Canadian Permanent Residency.
