Comparison of two commercial immigration programs in British Columbia

The province of British Columbia is one of the most attractive places in the world to live and migrate, and this is why thousands of people around the world think about investing in this beautiful province every year. But can all these investors migrate to this province and start their own business? The answer is no. The province of British Columbia attracts businessmen to invest and start a business and livelihood through the design of two immigration programs. The aim of the province is for these businessmen to prosper their business and employment as much as possible in this province and to contribute to the provincial or regional development. The Government of British Columbia is not looking for people who intend to invest in residency. Rather, the purpose of the province ‘s business plans is for people to invest and be economically active after entering the province.Therefore, in the first stage, a temporary work visa will be issued to the applicant, and then, with proof of fulfillment of obligations, permanent residence will be required .
