About Wander
Wander was designed with the future Canadian success story in mind. We meet global entrepreneurs and provide the guidance and coaching necessary to prepare for and enter the Canadian tech landscape as a viable, promising startup.
Many individuals seek a pathway to Canada through the startup visa immigration category; those who have proven business experience or an innovative startup idea who can support the development of a strong, sustainable Canada are eligible to apply.
In essence, Wander implements three pillars of support, intended to help you achieve official Canadian residency.
Pillar 1:

Wander coaches, guides, mentors and supports the global entrepreneur, helping bring their idea to life in a Canadian context.
Pillar 2:

Pillar 3:
Making the Canadian connection
Wander connects immigrant entrepreneurs to Canadian investors and incubators; these private sector investors can help establish their startup business. Well-coached, fully-formed startup teams supported by designated Canadian investors make for fantastic candidates for Canada’s startup visa program.
At Wander, we believe it’s time that global innovators and entrepreneurs gain and cultivate reliable, trustworthy and high-quality connections to a poised network of supportive investors and incubators. We use our international experience and business savvy to optimize and streamline the Canadian startup immigration process, opening the door to Canadian residency for potential immigrants and their families.
Wander was founded by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. We believe you are worth the investment. We’re here to ensure the Canadian investor landscape and startup visa program knows that too.

Pitch Your Startup
Pitching your startup isn’t just about simply describing what your product is, or what your offering can do to change the world. There’s an art and science behind pitching a startup, and it begins with captivating your audience — whether that’s your potential investor, your first customers, or us.
So let’s start the conversation.
Are you a degreed, experienced professional with years of experience across one or more of the STEM fields? You’re likely looking for ways to bring your expertise to greater horizons — namely Canada, the land of opportunity.
However, you may not have experience in the startup space. Nevertheless, you’re curious about the entrepreneurial world, and have enough significant knowledge, education and professional impact that you know you could make a difference in the Canadian business landscape.
Tell us about yourself as well as your expertise, and we’ll find a place for you in a leading-edge international startup team.
