British Columbia for Entrepreneurs

British Columbia Provincial Nominee Programme (BC PNP), a Provincial Nominee Programme (PNP) run by the province of British Columbia, contains a category of immigration streams known as British Columbia Entrepreneur Immigration. The BC Entrepreneur immigration programmes are aimed at foreign nationals who have a track record of running their own enterprises and who want to invest their money and knowledge in business possibilities in British Columbia.

Candidates for BC Entrepreneur immigration must buy a new or existing business in BC and get actively involved in running it on a daily basis. Rich foreign-owned businesses looking to expand into British Columbia as well as rich individuals with experience in company management can both take advantage of the opportunities provided by the entrepreneurial streams. The province of British Columbia will eventually issue a provincial nomination to successful applicants, which will support their requests for permanent residency in Canada. 

British Columbia Entrepreneur Immigration consists of three streams:

British Columbia Entrepreneur

British Columbia Entrepreneur Regional Pilot

British Columbia Strategic Projects

BC Entrepreneur

The British Columbia Entrepreneur stream focuses on seasoned business managers and owners who want to settle down permanently in British Columbia. Candidates must exhibit both significant personal wealth and management experience. The successful applicants will have to make investments in the acquisition and administration of a brand-new or current BC firm. The applicant qualifies for permanent residency in Canada after demonstrating the operation of a BC business.

BC Entrepreneur Regional Pilot

The BC PNP’s BC Entrepreneur Regional Pilot Stream is for seasoned business owners who want to invest in and run a company in British Columbia. The program’s member communities in BC must refer applicants.

BC Strategic Projects

The successful foreign-owned businesses that British Columbia Strategic Projects targets are those that want to open a new branch or operation in BC. Along with managing sizable staff teams, businesses must demonstrate their capacity to create a big amount of annual income. Successful businesses will need to relocate key personnel to BC in order to run their new proposed operation. These important employees are qualified for permanent residence in Canada after they can demonstrate the efficient operation of their BC business.

British Columbia Entrepreneur Ranking System

The following points-grid is used by the British Columbia Entrepreneur Immigration stream to rank the registered profiles of applicants. Only those applicants who achieve the highest standards of competition will be invited to apply to the programme. Please be aware that a different scoring system is used for the BC Entrepreneur Regional Pilot.
