BC PNP Entrepreneur Draw Issues 10 Base-Stream Invitations on October 20, 2026

British Columbia's Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) published Entrepreneur Immigration invitation results dated October 20, 2026. The province reported 10 invitations in the Base stream, with a minimum score of 118. It also reported fewer than five invitations in the Regional stream, also at a minimum score of 118.

What the results show

The province does not publish an exact Regional-stream invitation count when the number is fewer than five. Consequently, the combined number of invitations should not be reported as an exact figure. An invitation to apply is not an approval of a provincial nomination or Canadian permanent residence.

What prospective entrepreneurs should know

The Entrepreneur Immigration streams are intended for eligible applicants seeking to establish or acquire and actively manage businesses in British Columbia. Candidates should review the province's current stream-specific eligibility criteria, scoring factors, registration requirements and application deadlines. An invitation does not waive program requirements.
