British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) - Overview

For skilled workers

For some occupations, skilled workers may qualify for expedited entry under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP). This avenue is especially advantageous for employers who are outside the Greater Vancouver and Victoria metropolitan areas. Learn more and find out if you qualify here.

For business immigrants

The BC PNP also allows the Government of British Columbia to select potential business immigrants for settlement in B.C. To qualify, an individual must have a minimum net worth and be prepared to invest in a potential business and hire Canadians or permanent residents. If you wish to establish a business in the greater Vancouver area, you must invest $400,000. Outside of Vancouver, you only have to invest $200,000. Learn more and find out if you qualify here.
