BC PNP – ENTREPRENEUR IMMIGRATION – Final Report Guide and Checklist

Overview

The Province requires you to provide evidence to demonstrate you meet the performance expectations set out in your Performance Agreement. The Final Report is used as the basis for determining whether you will be approved as a Provincial Nominee.

During the business establishment period, ensure that you closely follow and adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in your signed Performance Agreement.

Make sure you retain invoices, receipts and records that you will need to submit along with your Final Report.

Timing of your Final Report

After 18 months after your Commencement Date but less than 20 months from your Commencement Date, you must submit to the BC PNP office a completed Final Report.

Next Steps

A Program Advisor will review your Final Report and, if necessary, may interview you and request additional information or supporting documentation. The Program Advisor may also conduct a site visit.

The BC PNP may, at any time in the process, ask you to provide additional information or supporting documentation. Nomination under the BC PNP is at the sole discretion of the Province of British Columbia and all decisions made with respect to nominations are final.
