Summary

On February 10, 2026, British Columbia issued 13 invitations under the Entrepreneur Immigration – Base stream (minimum score 121) and fewer than 5 invitations under the Regional stream (minimum score 105). Intake volume remains limited and consistent with prior rounds.

Analysis

The significance of this draw is not the number itself, but the continued pattern of controlled intake. British Columbia has not expanded entrepreneur invitation volume. The program remains score-sensitive and competitive.

The scoring system continues to reward:

Strong capital structure clarity

Realistic job creation sequencing

Operational feasibility

Clear regional alignment

Applicants relying primarily on meeting minimum thresholds without demonstrable execution logic are unlikely to remain competitive.

What This Means for Entrepreneurs

BC’s current selection environment favors businesses that are:

Execution-ready

Commercially defensible

Financially sustainable beyond minimum investment

Entrepreneur candidates should focus on strengthening operational substance rather than simply meeting eligibility criteria.
