5 Key Insights: British Columbia Issues Invitations Under Entrepreneur Streams

Step Forward in 2025 for Business Aspirants

On May 28, 2025, British Columbia issues invitations under entrepreneur streams, delivering a significant boost to business-minded immigrants. In two parallel draws under the Entrepreneur Immigration (EI) Regional and EI Base streams, a total of 14 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) were issued:

This marks the eighth entrepreneur-focused draw in 2025, underscoring BC’s shift towards fostering economic growth through entrepreneurial immigration—contrast to just one draw under skills-based streams

What Makes Each Stream Unique

EI Regional Stream

• Targets entrepreneurs launching new businesses in rural or smaller communities.
• Requires a local community endorsement.
• Draws are held approximately monthly

EI Base Stream

• Suitable for those starting or purchasing existing businesses anywhere in BC, including urban centres like Vancouver.
• No community recommendation required.
• Invitations are selectively targeted, considering registration score, business location, alignment with priority sectors, and community population

Why It Matters Now

   BC aims to stimulate economic development through entrepreneurs who create jobs and inject investment into local economies
2. Regular Draw Cadence
   Eight entrepreneur draws this year signal sustained and predictable invitation cycles, ideal for applicants crafting timely submissions
3. Access to Diverse Locations
   With two streams targeting both rural and urban settings, entrepreneurs have flexibility in choosing where to settle and invest.
4. Competitive, Transparent Process
