Hi guys
I'm a touch confused on this one. This is one of our potential options into Canada, but have found conflicting info.
I DEFINITELY 100% read that BC has a PNP business stream which requires a $200,000 investment for outside of Vancouver and Abbotsford.
But I was on the official BC website this weekend and it said $400,000.
Have the prices gone up??
Or is the BC website out of date and they dropped the requirements from $400,000 to $200,000?????
I was shocked as $200,000 may be workable - but $400,000 is not! So it closes a potential door for us - potentially!

Hi guys
Former Lancastrian - yes, that's exactly it!!! I could not find both, only the non-regional one @ $400,000. Thanks for that!!
Yes, the Business Plan. Could make or break it!
