Business Immigration
The Government of British Columbia welcomes business immigrants and people with employable skills in short supply. The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) offers accelerated immigration for qualified skilled workers, experienced entrepreneurs and their family members who want to settle in British Columbia and become permanent residents of Canada.
The BC PNP program allows nominees to apply for Permanent Resident status through Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) under the fast-tracked Provincial Nominee stream – which can be faster than applying through many federal immigration streams.
If you are considering moving permanently to Canada, your potential hurdles will depend on your situation (i.e., the category of immigration for which you qualify).
More information on the provincial program for facilitating immigration can be found on the Provincial Nominee Program website of the B.C. Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development.
