What are the requirements on an applicant’s net worth for the self-employed program of Canada?

I am a Chinese citizen and have been working as a self-employed fashion designer for almost 10 years. I also own an online shop where I showcase my designs and sell products to customers. I want to relocate to Canada with the self-employed program. However, I understand that there are requirements on the applicants’ net worth. How much do I need to qualify?

Under the self-employed person program, there is no set requirement for personal net worth. However, you must include a business plan with your application detailing the amount of investment required to run a business in Canada. You would be required to show you have funds to start and operate your business.
