Background
Ms Lee, from Hong Kong, applied with her husband and one child. She wanted permanent residence through BC’s entrepreneur stream.
Main concern
The reporting requirements were detailed, and she worried the final report wouldn’t pass.
Our approach
We checked her progress every quarter and prepared records against the performance agreement in advance.
Process and outcome
Her final report passed first time, and she received nomination and permanent residence in about four years.
Adviser’s comment
Regular progress checks are far safer than preparing the report at the end.
BC PNP Entrepreneur application process
- Assessment and exploratory visit (1–3 months): We assess your eligibility and choose the category and type of business; the Regional category needs a community referral first.
- Registration and application (By invitation): Register your interest and apply once invited on the strength of your score.
- Work permit and running the business (Per your performance agreement): Sign a performance agreement, then start or buy a business in British Columbia on a work permit and run it yourself.
- Nomination and permanent residence (About 4 years in total): Submit your final report, receive a provincial nomination and apply for permanent residence. It usually takes about four years from registration to permanent residence.
