British Columbia conducted a new selection for immigrant entrepreneurs
The province issued invitations for both the main and regional streams, with the required scores remaining unchanged.
On May 28, British Columbia held a new immigration draw for entrepreneurs under its provincial program. Invitations were issued for two streams.
In the main stream, 9 candidates received invitations to apply for permanent residence. The minimum score remained at 115, the same as in the previous round.
This stream targets experienced businesspeople who:
- have previously run a business or managed a company;
- have personal net worth of at least CAD $600,000;
- are ready to invest at least CAD $200,000 in starting or buying a business in the province.
There was also a draw for the regional stream, which supports small business development in smaller communities. Fewer than 5 people received invitations, with a minimum score of 123.
The requirements for this stream are more accessible:
- personal net worth of at least CAD $300,000;
- minimum investment of CAD $100,000.
The minimum scores in this round remained unchanged compared to previous draws. The province continues to strategically develop entrepreneurial immigration, supporting investment inflow and stimulating economic growth across various regions.
