Are you ready to start your dream business in Canada?
Join My Proven 7-Module Program and Build Your Path to Entrepreneurial Success!
THE SIMPLE ROADMAP TO SUCCEED IN CANADA.
We provide you with a step-by-step, easy-to-follow guide of everything you need to know to setup a successful business.
Setting up a business in a foreign country may feel impossible
I know because I am an immigrant just like you.
When I came to Canada at 18 in a U-Haul truck from Mexico, I watched my parents start from scratch, determined to build a successful business. Inspired by their journey, I decided to do the same. But I quickly realized how much I had to figure out on my own:
✅ Navigating a maze of legal requirements that seemed endless
✅ Adjusting to cultural differences that made everything feel unfamiliar
✅ Deciding which business to start and how to get it off the ground
✅ Wrestling with complex tax laws
✅ Trying to find the right people to connect with in Canada
And that was just the beginning...
It was so overwhelming that there were many times I wanted to give up.
That’s exactly why I created this course — to walk you step by step through how to start and run your Canadian business, while also giving you the community and support network I wish I had when I started.

INTRODUCING
IMMIGRANTS DEVELOPING ENTREPRENEUR ACADEMY
Your 7-module course designed to guide you through phases of bulding your very own Canadian business
IDEA is a 7-week step-by-step course tailored specifically to immigrants so you can effectively navigate through the hurdles and challenges that comes with starting a business in a new country. It was created to help Canadian immigrants like you start a successful business easier and faster than you’d ever imagined.
IDEA is a 7-module, step-by-step course designed specifically for immigrants. It will help you navigate the hurdles and challenges that come with starting a business in a new country. I created this program to help newcomers to Canada start and grow successful businesses more easily — and much faster — than I ever imagined possible when I first arrived.
This self-paced course is designed so you can:
✅ Learn how to open a Canadian business the right way
✅ Build your business with the support of peers through our private online community
And the best part: once you join IDEA, you have lifetime access.
You can come back to the program and its updates anytime, for as long as it exists.
Nitty Gritty and Red Tape
This is probably where you’re eager to begin. You want to know which documents you need, what policies to follow, and exactly which T’s need to be crossed.
Right away, let me assure you — we will go over all of that. Everything from how to register your business, to licenses, permits, taxes, and even what questions you can and cannot ask when hiring.
Yes, there is red tape… but let me promise you, starting a business in Canada is more than just checking boxes.
This course will show you the difference between the wrong way and the right way of building your business foundations. The wrong way is guessing and hoping you did things correctly. The right way is setting up your business properly from the start, so you can grow it into what you dream it to be.
The foundations of this course were designed to support Canadian immigrants with entrepreneurial aspirations in launching and managing their businesses effectively right from the start
Which is exactly why I decided to put together a course to walk you step by step to open and run your Canadian business while providing support to build your network.

What's inside the program?
BEFORE YOU GO
I'm Karla, nice to meet you!
I’m an award-winning serial entrepreneur who has founded five successful businesses, a small business columnist for Canada’s Capital daily newspaper, a college lecturer, and a TEDx Speaker.
But my journey didn’t start there. I arrived in Canada at 18, in a U-Haul truck after a five-day drive from Mexico. Starting from scratch, just like my parents did, I learned the ropes the hard way as a newcomer trying to build a future.
Today, I’m proud to be recognized as Immigrant Entrepreneur of the Year by Canada’s Nation’s Capital and as one of the Top 25 Immigrant Entrepreneurs in Canada by Canadian Immigrant Magazine.
Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of entrepreneurs launch, scale, and grow their businesses.
Now, I’m bringing everything I’ve learned over more than 16 years in business into online courses designed to help you succeed and grow faster — without having to go through the same trial and error I did.
My commitment is to be with you every step of the way on your business journey. See you inside the course!
Which is exactly why I decided to put together a course to walk you step by step to open and run your Canadian business while providing support to build your network.
