Hello Immigration Expert,
I was wondering if you could shed some light / provide me with some more information on this.
If I have Canadian Citizenship and decide to start a company. Say I run it succesfully for 4 or 5 months and do everything the right and legal way. After a while as my company grows and I need more help, can I hire my parents as employees in the company? They are both in their 50s. This wouldn't just be as formality, my Dad would be a great help to join me and help me out with business.
The reason I'm thinking of this alternative is that, family sponsorship takes over 3+ years, whereas this would be more immediate? Could you please give me some more details on the timeline and procedures involved?
I will be extremely greatful for any advice and suggestions ...
Are there any documents outlining the procedure? Can I not claim that it is a family business and I'd like to keep it that way.
Moreover, I know my parents would work with their heart and not just for a regular salary if I hired someone else ....
Are you thinking arranged employment option under FSW category? For arranged employment, the offer has to be validated by HRSDC. Its almost like getting a LMO and not a easy process. You may need to prove citizens/PRs are not available in Canada for that position. CIC site has all the info

U will have a very hard time convincing CIC about ur parents as employees for ur business.. most likely their Work visa application will get reject.
