British
Columbia
British Columbia has a lot of viable business immigration pathways. At a minimal required investment of $100,000 CAD, the regional pilot program is designed for entrepreneurs who want to solve the specific service challenges of small communities within the province. This pathway will entail establishing a new business within the sponsoring community.
If you feel that this could be a right step for you and your family, reach out to us and we will guide you in the process.
On the other hand, if your desire is to immigrate to a bigger community within British Columbia or buy an existing business, then, we will set you up with the right BC provincial program.
