Getting a visa as a startup partner

[ManWhoHasDreams]

Hello everyone, I'm from Europe. I am a 2nd year software engineering student. I work in mobile development. I have a situation like this:

* I am developing a mobile application for a startup founded by a Canadian citizen.
* In return for this application I developed, I will have a 30% share in the company.
* Startup is heavily mobile app based.
* The company was established in British Columbia and will continue from there.
* The mobile application will be continuously developed and I will be responsible for further development and maintenance.
* I want to live in Canada. (The conditions here are not suitable for me to develop the application and continue my life comfortably at the same time.)


I have a few questions for you about this situation:
- If I can get a visa, which visa could it be?
- Can I get a priority visa like this: https://www.welcomebc.ca/Immigrate-to-B-C/About-The-BC-PNP#PriorityOccupations
I'm in the "21232 Software developers and programmers" category. But is it possible for me to get this visa before I finish my school? (I will complete my education there)

You can apply under startup visa program and after that apply for work permit and you will get visa for that.

Have you considered speaking with a good immigration consultant or lawyer? You have a highly specific case and I think the startup visa program might be the best fit but it’s not simple to navigate… If you ever need a referral to one, let me know!
