Each Canadian province offers a multitude of enticing opportunities through their Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) designed specifically for entrepreneurs like you.
These PNPs serve as pathways for international entrepreneurs to make their mark in Canada’s diverse economic landscape.
British Columbia
In British Columbia, the BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) Entrepreneur Immigration (EI) offers a pathway for international entrepreneurs seeking to immigrate to the province and establish businesses that promote innovation and economic growth.

British Columbia operates three streams for entrepreneurs, including the Base stream, Regional Pilot, and Strategic Projects.
