Free route assessment
Which immigration route fits you?A free three-minute assessment for founders: Europe, Türkiye, Atlantic Canada or the US
This assessment won't tell you that you “qualify”. It tells you which of the routes open today — in Europe, Atlantic Canada or the United States — matches your real situation, why, and what is still missing. Sometimes the right answer is “not yet”, and that is an answer too.

Take the assessment- 1.What is your main goal in moving?
- 2.Are you a solo founder, or do you have co-founders?
- 3.Where is your business today?
- 4.What is your English level right now?
- 5.How much transferable capital do you have, separate from living money?
- 6.Which description fits you best?
- 7.When do you want to be in your destination?
Your answers are only used to work out the result. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to send it.
How it decides
Which routes can the assessment recommend?
Nine outcomes, tested in a fixed order: a research profile goes to the EB-2 NIW, threshold-level capital with a track record goes to Atlantic Canada, an operating business with workable English goes to Europe or Türkiye by team size, goal and budget, and everything else is “not yet”. The Canada Start-up Visa is not on the list: it has been paused since 30 June 2026.
| Result | When the assessment suggests it | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| US EB-2 NIW | A research profile (publications, patents, a master’s or PhD) with no operating business. | EB-2 NIW guide |
| New Brunswick or Nova Scotia entrepreneur stream | CAD 200,000 or more in transferable capital plus a professional or research record, unless you already run a business and growth is your goal. | New Brunswick business stream guide |
| Finland startup permit | An operating business (MVP or revenue), English at IELTS 5 or above, and a team of two or more. | Finland startup visa guide |
| Italia Startup Visa | The same team, when growth is the goal and capital is CAD 50,000 or more. | Italy startup visa guide |
| Netherlands startup visa | A solo founder with an operating business, growth as the goal, and CAD 50,000 or more. | Netherlands startup visa guide |
| Türkiye Tech Visa | A solo founder with an operating business, growth as the goal, and under CAD 50,000. | Türkiye Tech Visa guide |
| Estonia startup visa | A solo founder with an operating business who is in a hurry or has under CAD 50,000. | Estonia startup visa guide |
| Start-up Denmark | A solo founder with an operating business, a reasonable budget and time. | Start-up Denmark guide |
| Not yet, and that's good news | No business and no record yet, an idea without funds, an operating business with English below IELTS 5, or a professional record without a business or threshold-level capital. | How the mentorship works |
