The Canada Startup Visa is a golden ticket, but it's also a minefield. We check if your business model can actually survive the rigorous selection process.
This is a strategic audit and redesign of your startup concept, specifically calibrated for the Canadian market and SUV criteria. It is NOT an immigration filing package. We check your concept innovation, team structure, capital reality, and genuine business risk.
"We do not replace your immigration lawyer. We prepare you so that when you reach a lawyer or incubator, your startup actually makes sense for Canada."
We don't just "chat". We dismantle and rebuild your strategy.
Forget the legal jargon. Here is the actual engineering path to Permanent Residence. Most founders fail at Step 2.
You need an innovative idea that scales globally. A local restaurant or agency won't work. You need IP (Intellectual Property) and a logical "Why Canada?" logic.
You must convince a Designated Organization (Incubator, Angel, VC) to issue a Letter of Support. They don't sell letters; they invest their reputation in founders they trust.
With the letter, lawyers file for PR. IRCC checks security, medicals, and verifies if the business is "genuine and active" inside Canada.
This is not an official test, but a reality check based on how Designated Organizations think.
Take the 30-second pre-audit. No email required.
Don't marry the country. Marry the strategy that fits your timeline.

We are founders and mentors, not document processors. Our lead strategist, Farjad, has spent years working directly with immigrant founders from Iran, UAE, and Turkey, helping them navigate the complex reality of North American business.
Our philosophy is simple: We tell you the truth about your chances. We reject a large number of applicants when we don't believe in the case, because false hope is expensive.
Reza was a SaaS founder in Iran with 40+ customers. He thought he could just "copy-paste" his existing business to Canada. We audited his model and found his pricing and team structure were wrong for North America.
After a rigorous redesign session, we narrowed his focus to a specific B2B niche. Within 3 months, he was talking to two designated incubators as a credible founder, not just a desperate applicant.

“We reject ~40% of applicants after this call. If your startup isn’t ready, we save you years of pain by telling you now.”
No. Absolutely not. The decision lies solely with the Designated Organizations and IRCC. We guarantee a professional business strategy that maximizes your merit, but we do not control the outcome.
No. Ashavid is a business consulting firm. We work alongside licensed lawyers for legal filings, but we do not provide legal advice ourselves.
We will tell you honestly. We will explain why, suggest improvements, or recommend alternative pathways like the Netherlands or UAE. We don't take you down a dead-end road.
You receive a written summary and a clear recommendation. If you are a strong candidate, we may introduce you to our network of incubators or lawyers. If not, you have a clear list of things to fix.
DISCLAIMER: Ashavid is a mentorship and business consulting firm. We are not immigration lawyers and not licensed immigration consultants. We do not provide legal advice, and we do not represent you before IRCC or any government body. All legal filings related to Canada’s Startup Visa, PR, or work permits must be handled by a licensed immigration lawyer or consultant. Our role is strictly limited to business strategy, startup readiness, and mentorship to help you build a stronger business case.
