Entrepreneur Immigration – Regional Pilot: working with regional communities, this pilot is intended to attract entrepreneurs to participating regional communities to establish new businesses that align with the communities’ economic development priorities.
Under this stream, investors/Entrepreneurs are allowed to establish a business in a community with a population of fewer than 75,000 located more than 30 kilometres. This program is a pilot project for two years and launched on March 14, 2019.
International entrepreneurs approved through the Entrepreneur Immigration (EI) Regional Pilot will be eligible to get a work permit to settle and run a business in British Columbia for at least 12 months.
