Buying a business isn’t just signing a purchase agreement—it’s about strategy, timing, and choosing the right immigration route. In this guide, we break down C11 Work Permit Canada vs BC PNP Entrepreneur, timelines, PR pathways, points systems, and why RS Immigration is your best partner in 2026.
| 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 |
