On December 17, 2024, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) held a draw targeting entrepreneurs. This draw issued 10 invitations for the Entrepreneurial Immigration Basic Stream (EI Basic) with a minimum score of 115, and fewer than 5 invitations for the Regional Stream (EI Regional) with a minimum score of 114. A great opportunity for international entrepreneurs wishing to settle in this dynamic province!
Base Stream (EI Base)
The EI Base component is aimed at experienced entrepreneurs with a net worth of at least CAD 600,000, who are prepared to invest a minimum of CAD 200,000 in a business in British Columbia. These entrepreneurs must also create at least one full-time job and align their project with the province's economic priorities.
Regional Stream: A local opportunity
The Regional EI component targets smaller communities in the province, with more accessible criteria: a minimum net worth of CAD 300,000 and an investment of at least CAD 100,000. Applicants must obtain a recommendation from a participating community after an exploratory visit.
Conclusion
This draw highlights the opportunities British Columbia offers for entrepreneurs who want to contribute to its economy while building a new life in Canada. If you're considering participating in this program, or need some guidance, book an appointment with our regulated Canadian immigration consultant to maximize your chances of success.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to all invited candidates! This is a crucial step towards realizing your entrepreneurial project and your Canadian dream.
