| We strongly encourage you to make an exploratory visit to B.C. to learn more about opportunities and the local business environment before you submit your application. | |
| You submit all application forms, along with the required fees, to the PNP office. | |
| We assess your application against program criteria and may follow up with specific questions or ask for more information. | |
| If your application passes our initial assessment, we will ask you to attend an in-person interview in Vancouver to discuss your application and make a final decision. | |
| If we approve your application, you must sign a Performance Agreement. It describes the type of business you intend to invest in and manage, the breakdown of your total investment, the number of jobs you intend to create, and other milestones associated with your business proposal. | |
| We will issue you a work permit support letter so you can apply to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for a two-year work permit. This will enable you and your dependants to move to B.C. so you can start implementing your business plan. | |
| Within the designated timelines, you notify the PNP of your arrival in B.C. and submit proof that you have transferred the required funds for your investment. | |
| You implement your business plan. When you have met the conditions of the Performance Agreement, you submit a final report to the PNP. | |
| The PNP reviews your final report and, if you have satisfied the conditions of the Performance Agreement, nominates you (and your eligible dependants and, if applicable, key staff members) for permanent residence. | |
| We will issue you a nomination certificate that you will include with your application for permanent residence (and those of your spouse, eligible dependent children and, if applicable, key staff members) to CIC. If CIC approves your application, you will be issued a permanent resident visa to live and work in Canada. | |
| Due to an unusually large increase in applications, average processing times for Business Immigration applications have increased. We are currently processing applications received in May 2012. | |
| Applications under the Regional Business Succession Option recieve priority processing, and are normally processed within 4 to 6 months of receipt. |

The B.C. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) will only consider applications to establish or purchase and expand a business that contributes to the economic growth of our province.
What types of businesses are eligible?
The business must:
Be operated for the primary purpose of earning profits by providing products and/or services.
Have strong potential for sustained commercial success.
Have the potential to create significant economic benefits for British Columbia, such as by:
increasing value-added manufacturing or processing, exports, destination tourism, R&D and technology commercialization,
developing innovative approaches to traditional businesses,
transferring technology and specialized knowledge to B.C.,
providing products or services to an under-served local or regional market, or
enabling the purchase of an existing B.C. business.
In addition, the PNP will only consider the purchase of an existing franchise as an eligible business if it includes an expansion plan that is consistent with franchisor requirements.
What types of businesses are not eligible?
We will not approve an application if the proposed business does not have the potential to be commercially successful in British Columbia. In addition, the following types of businesses are not eligible:
Bed and breakfasts, hobby farms and home-based businesses
Pay day loan, cheque cashing, money changing and cash machine businesses
Pawnbrokers
Scrap metal recycling
Coin-operated laundries
Automated car wash operations
Businesses selling used goods (excluding collectibles, or businesses that provide value-added services such as repairs, refurbishing or recycling)
Real estate development/brokerage, insurance brokerage or business brokerage
Businesses involved in producing, distributing or selling pornography or sexually explicit products or services, or providing sexually oriented services
Any other type of business that by association would tend to bring the BC PNP or the Government of British Columbia into disrepute.
We will also not consider applications for the following types of businesses in the Vancouver metropolitan area or the Abbotsford metropolitan area:
Convenience stores
DVD rental stores
Gasoline service stations
Personal dry cleaning services

The minimum personal investment requirements in the business are:
At least $400,000 for applicants to the Entrepreneur category; or
At least $200,000 for applicants to the Regional Entrepreneur category.
If you are purchasing an existing business in B.C., the PNP will consider the lesser of the total purchase price of the existing B.C. business or two-thirds (66.666%) of your minimum personal investment. The remaining amount of your personal investment must go towards upgrading, expanding or improving the business.
For example, if you are purchasing an existing business for $1,000,000 CAD under the Regional Entrepreneur category, the BC PNP will only consider $133,333 as an eligible investment (66.666% x $200,000). You must invest at least an additional $66,667 to upgrade or expand the business. Your total investment will be $1,066,667 or more.
In another scenario, if you are purchasing an existing business for $100,000 CAD under the Regional Entrepreneur category, the BC PNP will consider the entire $100,000 as an eligible investment (the lesser of two-thirds of the minimum personal investment or the total purchase price). You must then invest at least an additional $100,000 to upgrade or expand the business. Your total investment will be $200,000 or more.
Finally, if you are purchasing an existing business for $500,000 CAD under the Entrepreneur category, the BC PNP will only consider $266,666 as an eligible investment (66.666% x $400,000). You must invest at least an additional $133,334 to upgrade or expand the business. Your total investment will be $633,334 or more.
