British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) Statistical Report:Entrepreneur Immigration (EI)(3)

The EI Stream is designed to target experienced  entrepreneurs who can support innovation and economic growth in the province. It has three categories:

Base
Regional Pilot
Strategic Projects

The EI selection process has two steps. If an entrepreneur’s business proposal  is approved,  the Province supports their application for a work permit that allows them to come to B.C. as temporary residents  to implement their business plan. Entrepreneurs then have a specific period of time (between 12 and 24 months, depending on their application category) to establish their businesses before they become eligible for nomination.
