Great news for entrepreneurs! British Columbia has just extended Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for its Entrepreneur Immigration streams. If you've been eyeing a business opportunity in this stunning province, now might be the perfect time to act.

On August 19, the province held draws for its two main streams: the EI Base Stream and the EI Regional Stream. A total of 16 entrepreneurs received ITAs, a positive sign of BC's commitment to supporting new business ventures.

Curious about the numbers? The EI Base Stream issued 11 invitations, with a minimum score of 124, while the EI Regional Stream had less than 5 invitations, with a cut-off of 115. This year has been focused primarily on entrepreneurs, highlighting BC's goal to attract innovative leaders.

To be eligible, you'll need to score at least 115 points for the EI Base Stream and 105 points for the EI Regional Stream. Both streams require job creation for Canadian citizens or permanent residents as a part of your business plan.

If you think you have what it takes to launch or invest in a business in British Columbia, now is the time to assess your eligibility and get started!
