British Columbia: December 17, 2024 Draw Results - Entrepreneurial Immigration: Basic and Regional
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.
