How To Apply For Canada's Start-Up Visa From Nigeria

Nigeria is a leader for entrepreneurship with more technology hubs than any other country in Africa and booming with start-ups that could benefit from access to Canadian and American markets through Canada's Start-Up Visa program.

In its Global Start-up Ecosystem Report 2019, the Startup Genome research and advisory organization listed Lagos, Nigeria as one of the most likely places in the world to become a Top 30 tech hub to lead a Silicon Valley-like, albeit smaller, tech boom in the next few years.

"The Nigerian start-up ecosystem is on the move," notes VC4A, a Nigerian start-up support organization. "It is a leading hub for entrepreneurship on the continent thanks to several strengths, including a growing number of engaging international investors, a huge population with access to technology, and a growing number of start-up support organizations active in the ecosystem."
