The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program for Entrepreneur Immigration (BCPNP-B) is for experienced entrepreneurs who are ready to invest in and actively manage a business in British Columbia.
In order to apply to the BCPNP-B, a prospective applicant must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) and receive an invitation from the BCPNP-B to apply. The EOI is an official submission which will become a part of an applicant’s future Nomination Application. Periodically the BCPNP-B will select the highest scoring applicants from the EOI pool and issue them an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
The BCPNP-B will regularly conduct draws to invite candidates from the selection pool for each category to apply. The number and frequency of invitations to apply is based on annual nomination allocations and the BCPNP-B’s processing capacity to ensure timely processing of applications.
The most recent BC-PNP-B Entrepreneur pool draw was conducted on September 27, 2017 with 12 ITA’s issued and a lowest selection score of 119
We put together a summary of the round of invitations during 2016/2017, along with the number of candidates that will get an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
