B.C. communities participate in the second phase of the BC PNP Entrepreneur Immigration Regional Pilot

More than 50 communities across the province have signed up to participate in Phase 2 of the BC PNP Entrepreneur Immigration (EI) Regional Pilot to attract and welcome new entrepreneurs to open businesses in these communities.

The EI Regional Pilot was introduced in March 2019 to support economic growth in smaller regional centres of B.C. and is an innovative collaboration between regional communities and the provincial government. Over the past two years, the pilot has demonstrated its ability to attract entrepreneurs from around the world and to contribute to regional economic development needs, despite the impacts of COVID-19.
The first cohort of participating communities can be found on the Entrepreneur Immigration page. This list will be updated as new communities finalize their enrolment.

The BC PNP Entrepreneur Immigration (EI) Regional Pilot has been extended until March 31, 2024.
