| Feature | C11 Work Permit Canada | BC PNP Entrepreneur |
|---|---|---|
| Work Permit (WP) | 3–6 months → start business immediately | 9–16 months → start business after WP issued |
| PR Path | Express Entry eligible (points high), but C11 entrepreneurial experience often doesn’t count → most apply via BC PNP | Direct PR via provincial nomination → 12–18 months after nomination |
| Ease / Probability | WP easy, PR harder | WP slower, PR easier if net worth ≥ CAD 600k, investment ≥ CAD 200k |
| Best Use Case | Net worth/investment below BC PNP thresholds | Net worth/investment meets BC PNP thresholds; want direct PR |
