Welcome to wise5.ca

Winning Strategies for Immigrant Entrepreneurship (Wise5) is a research project focusing on five communities in southwestern Ontario: Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Niagara, and Windsor. This project will develop a profile of immigrant entrepreneurs, identify success factors as well as obstacles to success, and make recommendations for improved business start up and maintenance.

In conjunction with the first two of our five planned project wrap-up and networking events, we are releasing the final report and other documents related to the Wise5 project.  If you are unable to attend the events or just want more information, click on these links to reach PDF versions of these documents:
