How Candidates Can Apply Through the Skill and Entrepreneur Immigration Stream?

Candidates interested in immigrating to Canada or British Columbia can apply through either the Skills Immigration or Entrepreneur Immigration stream under the BCPNP, depending on their background and eligibility.

• BC PNP Skills Immigration Stream: This stream is designed for skilled workers who have a valid job offer from a B.C. employer. Eligible candidates must register online, receive a score based on factors like work experience, education, and wages, and wait for an Invitation to Apply. Once invited, applicants can submit a complete PR-supporting application.

• BC PNP Entrepreneur Immigration Stream: This stream of the BC PNP targets experienced business owners or senior managers. Candidates must submit an EOI, meet minimum investment and net-worth requirements, and present a viable business plan. Selected applicants receive an invitation to apply and can move forward toward Canadian permanent residence.

Both pathways offer strong opportunities to settle permanently in British Columbia.
