Starting May 27, 2024, the Entrepreneur Immigration Regional Pilot has become a permanent stream of the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP). This initiative is a part of StrongerBC – a commitment towards strengthening the regional communities and boosting their economies. Entrepreneurs interested in establishing their businesses in the rural, interior, and coastal parts of British Columbia can now apply for immigration through this permanent stream. This initiative will strengthen the provincial economy by attracting international talent and investment.
