Starting up, buying, investing, establishing: your business project is your best passport.

The immigration file and the business
project are built together.

Business immigration is a field of its own: the immigration file and the business project must be built with the same rigour. That is precisely our strength. A business law firm first and foremost, we understand the business plan as well as the requirements of the immigration programs.

Our practice is deliberately focused: starting a business, buying an existing one, investors and foreign companies establishing themselves in Canada. This specialization allows us to build strong, coherent files that are credible in the eyes of the authorities.

Starting a business

Creating your company from scratch in Quebec. We assess your eligibility, incorporate the company, allocate the share capital and check the legal coherence of the business plan. Our network of partners surrounds you: business plan writers and market analysts who give your project the credibility the authorities are looking for.

Buying a business

Taking over a Quebec business that already operates is often the most credible route: the revenue, the employees and the clients exist and can be verified. We run the due diligence, negotiate the purchase agreement and build the immigration file from the same documents.

Investors

Investor programs require rigorous proof of the source of funds, the business track record and the intention to settle. We prepare complete, well-documented files. We also work with established financial partners to finance investor files, a decisive advantage in completing your arrangement on time.

Establishing foreign businesses

is built like a transaction.

Assessment

Your profile, your funds, your project: we confirm eligibility and choose the right program before investing time and money.

Building the file

Business plan, documentary evidence, corporate structuring: every piece of the file reinforces the others.

Filing and follow-up

We file the application, respond to requests from the authorities and keep you informed at every step.

Landing

Once your status is granted, your business law firm is already in place for what comes next: contracts, hiring, growth.

Building here from abroad.

Business immigration: starting a business, buying an existing one, investors, transfers of executives and the setup of foreign companies in Quebec.

Because the firm is one of the few standing at the crossing of business law and immigration. A business immigration file demands that dual competence: the company, the share capital, the purchase agreement and the contracts on one side, the program, the undertakings and the evidence on the other. Both streams are part of our expertise, and the same team carries them, on the same timetable and from the same version of the facts.

No. Beyond the law, MEKA AVOCAT relies on a complete partner network: accountants and tax specialists, business plan writers and market analysts, brokers, financial partners. You keep a single point of contact for the whole project, and the firm coordinates the others.

Yes. Setting up does not stop at the visa: Quebec registration, contracts, commercial leases, hiring and corporate compliance follow, and the same firm handles them.
