How Can You Receive ITAs Under the Entrepreneur Streams?

Entrepreneurs who want to immigrate through the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program must follow a structured selection process before receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA). The program assesses candidates based on their business experience, financial capacity, and the potential economic benefits their proposed business can bring to British Columbia.

First, applicants must register their profile in the BC PNP online system and submit details about their business background, personal net worth, and proposed investment plan. Each registration is evaluated through a points-based scoring system that considers factors such as business ownership or senior management experience, investment amount, job-creation potential, and adaptability.

Candidates with competitive scores are placed in a registration pool. During periodic draws, the province selects top-ranking candidates from this pool and issues Invitations to Apply for provincial nomination under the BC PNP Entrepreneur Immigration streams.

After receiving an ITA, applicants must submit a complete application along with a detailed business plan. If approved, they sign a performance agreement with the province and receive a work permit to establish or purchase their business in British Columbia. Successful completion of the agreement can then lead to a provincial nomination and eventually permanent residence in Canada.
