For Business Immigrants

The BC PNP also allows the Government of British Columbia to select potential business immigrants for settlement in BC. 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.

You must have a net worth of at least $600,000 and make a personal investment of at least $200,000 into the business. You must also create one new full-time job for a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

The selection of business candidates is based on a point system based on:

  • Adaptability
  • Your business proposal
