The business model used in Canada:

I = Independent Business Owner – Amway -affiliated Independent Business Owners build businesses that allow them to earn income based on the purchases made at www.amway.ca resulting from their efforts. Independent Business Owners also can take advantage of special business services, including the Office, where they access detailed volume inquiries showing the invoices that make up total sales. Some Independent Business Owners qualify to access Business Profile reports that provide detailed and trending information about their businesses, such as product line movement and sponsoring activity. To launch a business powered by Amway, individuals must register with an existing Independent Business Owner.

C = Customer – Customers pay no fee to shop from a large selection of high-quality products and learn more about what they need through expert advice on health, personal care, home maintenance and more. Products are shipped directly to their homes and are covered by a Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. All Customers must first register with an Independent Business Owner before making purchases; if they do not know one, they will be referred by Amway to an Independent Business Owner in their area.

Establish a Second Business

International Sponsoring
International sponsoring is always an option and an excellent means of expanding your business while avoiding many of the costs and complexities associated with establishing a second business. Please note: For those markets where foreigners are able to establish a second business, they must be the international sponsor of their second business in another country.

As complex business and legal issues are involved, Independent Business Owners should always contact the affiliate and obtain the advice of local legal counsel in the province or territory where they wish to commence business before attempting to establish a second business.

The information provided below is generally applicable to all jurisdictions in Canada except the Province of Quebec. For example, the Province of Quebec has established substantial requirements with respect to the conduct of business in the French language and has a distinct civil law.

There are several business options available for establishing a second business in Canada, each with its own legal requirements. The decision of which option an Independent Business Owner chooses would be driven by Canadian income tax issues and the individual’s plans for the business and its development. Generally, the costs to register a business are reasonable.

The most difficult issue which an individual faces wishing to establish a second business in Canada will be that of immigration. Immigration is a federal matter, although in Quebec a large portion has been delegated to the province.

There are restrictions on the employment in Canada of citizens of another country, such as obtaining permanent resident status or a temporary employment authorization to work. A temporary employment authorization is issued for one year with limited renewals. The process to obtain a temporary work authorization is relatively complex and lengthy. For an individual wishing to establish a second business in Canada for a prolonged period of time, a temporary employment authorization may not be desirable and immigration may be necessary.

Visa Requirements
If Non Resident is not traveling to Canada:
No Visa is required

If Non Resident is traveling to Canada:
– Visa must allow you to operate an Amway business
– Student Visas are not eligible
– Unless exempt from visa requirements, every foreign Independent Business Owner seeking entry for temporary stay into Canada must first obtain the appropriate visa
– Check with Canadian Immigration to find out if you are eligible to own a business in Canada and the visa requirements
– Visa applications are generally available from the Canadian Consulate or Embassy office in the applicant’s home or resident country
