24. •The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) provides an accelerated process
for skilled and/or experienced workers, experienced business persons and
their family members who want to settle permanently in a particular
province of Canada.
•If you choose to immigrate to Canada as a provincial nominee, you must
first apply to the province where you wish to settle and complete its
provincial nomination process. Nominees are then able to apply for
Permanent Resident status through Citizenship and Immigration Canada
(CIC).
•The PNP is faster than applying through many federal immigration
streams. Each province selects applicants on the basis of their education
and work experience in accordance to the province’s skill needs and
requirements.

25. •The business categories of the BC PNP provide accelerated immigration
opportunities for qualified entrepreneurs ready and able to invest
substantial funds in a new or existing business in British Columbia.
•As the BC PNP requires the analysis for the feasibility and success of
proposed venture, with respect to the applicants work and education
history, a business proposal will be developed individually for the
applicant outlining the reasonableness and viability of the proposed
venture.
•The purpose of these programs is to attract and retain people most likely
to provide significant economic benefits to the province by contributing to
the following eligibility criteria:

26. • Purchase or expand an eligible business
• Have a minimum net worth of $400,000 CAD
• Make a minimum investment of $200,000 CAD
• Own at least one-third equity in the business
• Create at least one new job for a Canadian or permanent resident
• Take an active day to day role in managing and directing the business

27. The immigration program does not require ownership of real estate.
However, many of us believe in purchasing land, as clients find it
desirable to own the work place and the residence.
Following is an example of how little as $600,000 can fulfill the
requirements of BC PNP and Canada immigration as well as own your
residence and the shop.
