New openings for business class in British Columbia through province’s New Regional Pilot Program
Two-year pilot aims to attract experienced entrepreneurs to smaller communities around the province
British Columbia new regional pilot program opened on March 14 to bring new opportunities and jobs for smaller and more remote communities in the province. According to the province’s government, smaller and remote communities mean communities having less than 75,000 populations as well as located 30 kilometres away from the large population centre.
So, all the interested entrepreneurs who wish to immigrate to British Columbia can have an advantage of the pilot program to step forward. All the approved applications of experienced entrepreneurs through the pilot program will receive a temporary permit to initiate their business there. And, after some time, if they meet all eligibility requirements successfully, then they can apply for provincial nomination for Canadian PR.
B.C.’s Minister of Jobs, Trade and Technology, Bruce Ralston said, “Due to an ageing workforce and a preference for city living, some smaller towns can face challenges growing their local economies. This pilot will attract new businesses that create jobs and spread investment around the province.”
Till date, more than 30 communities have joined their hands with the pilot, and they need more experienced and talented entrepreneurs, who can associate with them and drive economic growth and job creation.
So, if you are one of them, then you first need to check your eligibility, which includes,
- A minimum of $100,000 in eligible business investments

- A minimum CLB level 4 in English or French
