Provincial Nominee Program: Business Immigrants
(La version française sera disponible sous peu)
Please note that important changes have been made in the Business component of the BC PNP, effective September 26, 2007.
The Business component of the BC PNP offers accelerated immigration for qualified entrepreneurs who wish to settle in British Columbia (BC) and become permanent residents of Canada.
The BC PNP selects and nominates for permanent residence potential business immigrants who have the ability to establish themselves successfully in BC and develop a business that will provide significant economic benefits to the province.
Applicants must meet the program’s selection criteria, but should be aware that meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee approval. The BC PNP establishes nomination targets for the program, and gives priority to candidates who demonstrate the greatest potential to create a successful business and contribute economic benefits to the province.
Business Categories
The BC PNP provides opportunities for business immigration in three separate categories:
- Business Skills
- Regional Business
- Strategic Projects
