Premier Ford also addressed the audience during the event, highlighting key topics such as U.S. tariffs, global trade policies, and the importance of strengthening Canada’s position as a destination for global talent. This event provided a platform to explore how Ontario can remain a top choice for immigrant entrepreneurs and innovators worldwide.

The Importance of Immigrant Entrepreneurs in Ontario’s Economy

Ontario has become a beacon for global talent, and programs like the Startup Visa and Provincial Nominee Program play a vital role in this success.

The Role of Ontario’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
