On June 29, 2022, the Government of British Columbia announced that new community profiles have been added to Entrepreneur Immigration Regional Pilot Program. The Pilot is designed to encourage global entrepreneurs to search for business possibilities across the province. Entrepreneurs can open a business in British Columbia’s smaller towns and settle in Canada. The communities that enrolled for Phase 2 of the EI Regional Pilot have identified the kinds of businesses that are a priority for their communities. The province has introduced the EI Regional Pilot in March 2019. The Pilot will accept businesspeople until March 31, 2024.
