British Columbia & PEI invite applicants in recent PNP draws. They both issued ITAs via their Provincial Nomination Programs.
British Columbia targeted foreign entrepreneurs who have already established a new business or purchased an existing business in the province, issuing invitations under two of its Entrepreneur Immigration streams.
Prince Edward Island’s third draw of the year focused on individuals already living and working within the province in priority professions and sectors deemed critical to supporting its economic growth.
British Columbia (March 14 – 21)
On March 18, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP) held a draw under its Entrepreneur Immigration category. The draw targeted foreign entrepreneurs under its Base Stream and Regional Stream.
A total of 8 ITAs were issued to eligible entrepreneurs under the Base stream, with applicants needing a minimum score of 115 to have been eligible. The applicant’s registration score – consisting of points based on human capital and economic factors – and business concept contributed to overall consideration.
Under its Regional stream, fewer than five entrepreneurs who were referred to the BCPNP by a participating community received an ITA for provincial nomination. A minimum score of 123 was required for consideration.
