Canada Start-up Visa is no longer open to new applications. CanadaSUV.ca now focuses on global living strategy for Vietnamese middle-class families.
From Canada to a broader global living strategy

From Canada Start-up Visa to a global living strategy for Vietnamese families

A pathway can be legally available and still be wrong for the family. We assess place of residence, children’s schooling, income continuity, asset structure, tax exposure, business obligations and long-term residence before recommending a country or program.

Important. Canada’s Start-up Visa program is only still available for a limited group of applicants holding a valid 2025 commitment certificate and filing before June 30, 2026; it is no longer open to other new applicants. The right question now is not “How do we enter SUV?” but “Which structure truly fits our family?”

One migration decision is really many decisions at once

Many families think they are looking for a program. In reality, they are trying to build a new structure for life: a second place to live, a school path for the children, a way to keep income, a way to protect assets, and more freedom without completely cutting ties with Vietnam.

Will the family move fully, or build a second base first?
How old are the children, and which school transition is realistic?
Does current income depend on staying physically in Vietnam?
Should assets stay in Vietnam, move abroad, or be split across two systems?
Is the core goal lifestyle, education, PR, citizenship, or business expansion?
If the first pathway fails, is there an exit or pivot plan?
Services

Four service layers, from diagnostic to long-term execution

Each service level produces a defined output. A family may stop after the diagnostic, proceed to a full blueprint, or retain us to coordinate implementation with appropriately licensed specialists.

1

Family diagnostic

We assess goals, children’s schooling stage, income, assets, English level, risk tolerance, and dependence on Vietnam.

  • Suitable / Suitable with conditions / Not yet ready
  • Two to four suitable directions
  • Early elimination of unsuitable pathways
2

Family Mobility Blueprint

An integrated strategy document for the whole family, not only the principal applicant.

  • Comparison across two to four countries
  • Residence, education, tax and asset scenarios
  • 3–5 year budget and action timeline
3

Pathway design & implementation

We serve as the family’s strategic point of coordination and bring in the right specialists to implement the chosen plan consistently.

  • Access to appropriate immigration, tax, legal and education specialists
  • Coordination of timelines and key decisions
  • One coherent strategy across all workstreams
4

Long-term strategic support

For families who need ongoing support across multiple countries, multiple assets or several transition phases.

  • Annual strategic review
  • Renewal and compliance calendar
  • Coordination across countries and advisers
International pathways

Each country addresses a different family objective.

These four directions represent distinct family strategies: building a stable family base in Canada, creating a European living base in Portugal, developing an international business from Malta, or acquiring and directly operating a business in New Zealand.

Canada

Building long-term stability through business and the right community

Current options centre on provincial entrepreneur programs, suitable regional businesses, business acquisition and the family’s ability to operate sustainably over time.

Portugal

A European family base for households with international income

Suitable for families with international income or a practical business plan who value education, quality of life and a long-term European residence structure.

Malta

An English-speaking EU base for startups and international business

Best suited to founders or co-founders who need an English-speaking operating environment, an EU legal base and access to the wider European market.

New Zealand

Business acquisition for capital-strong families

For capital-strong families prepared to buy and directly operate a real business, with residence linked to genuine commercial performance.

Who this is for

For families rooted in Vietnam who want to build additional freedom of choice

This is not a service for buying an immigration slot. Suitable clients usually already have income, assets, professional standing or a functioning business in Vietnam and want to convert that foundation into a sustainable international living structure.

A good fit when

  • The family intends to retain meaningful roots or operations in Vietnam.
  • You are willing to pay for independent analysis before selecting a pathway.
  • You accept that Canada may not be the best answer.
  • You can disclose income, assets, tax exposure and business risks transparently.
  • You want a 3–5 year family plan rather than a filing service.

Not a good fit when

  • You only want a route that is “fast, guaranteed and cheap”.
  • You are unwilling to operate a business when the route requires it.
  • You need to conceal the source of funds, ownership or business role.
  • You are looking only for form filling and a visa guarantee.
  • The family does not yet have the financial capacity to sustain a move.
Canada after SUV

Canada’s Start-up Visa was the original point of interest for many families considering an international future. Now that the program is closed to new applications, the more important task is to reassess the family’s full objectives and identify the country, pathway and level of commitment that fit best.

Provide accurate guidance on Canada Start-up Visa

Families receive clear information on the program’s current status, the limited cases still eligible and the options that remain realistic in Canada.

Clarify the family’s actual objective

The underlying need may involve lifestyle, children’s education, business, long-term residence or greater flexibility between Vietnam and another country.

Compare Canada with other realistic options

When Canada is no longer the best fit, other countries are assessed using the same criteria: cost, education, tax, assets, business requirements and long-term residence prospects.

How we work

Strategy first. Specialists at the right moment. No promises beyond our role.

The family works with one strategic point of coordination to define objectives, build options, set budgets and align specialist work. Legal, tax, immigration, investment and business valuation opinions are delivered by appropriately licensed professionals.

Strategic coordination

Advice grounded in the family’s reality in Vietnam

We start from where the family actually stands: where the assets are, how income is earned, how the children are doing, and how much mobility is realistic.

Independent

No predetermined country recommendation

Every country has trade-offs. We do not assume Canada, Portugal or Malta is right for everyone.

Specialist network

The right specialists for the chosen route

Implementation may involve immigration counsel, tax advisers, corporate lawyers, brokers, school advisers and relocation partners depending on the pathway.

Tangible outputs

The family understands what it is deciding, at what cost and with what risk

Every advisory package includes written deliverables. Depending on scope, the family receives a diagnostic report, country comparison, multi-year budget, implementation timeline, risk map, specialist plan and record of key decisions.

No universal “best route”

Every recommendation must explain why it fits this family and why competing routes were rejected.

Transparent fees and commercial interests

Strategic advisory fees are set independently. Any referral fee or commercial interest, where applicable, is disclosed clearly to the client.

No optimistic projections to decorate an application

Budgets, revenue, job creation and PR timelines are built on conservative assumptions with a failure scenario.

Contact

Start with a family diagnostic

The first conversation helps us understand your family’s goals, constraints and readiness. From there, we can recommend the right next step: a diagnostic, a full blueprint, or a preparation phase from Vietnam.
