AREAS OF PRACTICE:
Immigration Law

Business Class
Luk Law provides service to foreign individuals who qualify as a business immigrant. The federal program is designed to encourage economic development and employment by inviting those people with business experience and capital. Canada grants business class permanent residence based on the following three subgroups:

• Investor: an individual who possesses business experience and are willing to make a secured passive investment of $400,000 and has a worth of at least $800,000;
• Entrepreneur: an individual with a net worth of $300,000 who creates, invests or acquires a business in Canada and hires one full-time Canadian citizen or permanent resident; and
• Self-Employed: an individual who, through demonstrated experience and expertise, can establish her/himself through self-employment as an athlete, artist or farmer.

Independent Skilled Worker

• Skilled work applicants are assessed based on a series of criteria which indicate the probability of becoming economically established in Canada.
• The independent skilled worker category is based on a selection grid that awards points based on education, language skills, work experience, age, arranged employment and adaptability.  A minimum pass mark of 67 is required to successfully apply under this program.

Provincial Nominee

• The Province of Manitoba targets individuals, based on a set of criteria and a points system, who can contribute to labour market demands.  It is based on the following areas: age, education, intended occupation in Manitoba, guaranteed employment in Manitoba, language, work experience and adaptability. It also welcomes business applicants who are prepared to invest and put their roots down in Manitoba.
• Luk Law provides a unique settlement services integration program for business nominees. Stage One of this business immigrant orientation mini-proposal covers topics critical to a successful transition to relocating to Manitoba. Topics covered include: assessment of businessidea, orientation to business culture, the political system, education system and the social/cultural and family life adjustment issues: banking, housing, medical coverage, language training, transit system, etc.  Stage Two is the maxi-proposal which involves the applicant's family and covers the same topics as in Stage One, but to the entire group.
