Rural Entrepreneur Immigration Program – Alberta & British Columbia
Why the Rural Entrepreneur Program?
Unlike big cities where competition is intense and costs are high, rural communities in Alberta and BC are actively inviting entrepreneurs to contribute to their economic growth. Here’s why this program stands out:
✅ Lower Investment Thresholds – Start with CAD $100,000 – $200,000
✅ Pathway to PR – Secure a work permit first, then transition to PR
✅ Family Benefits – Spouse open work permit & free public schooling for children
✅ Welcoming Communities – Small towns with family-friendly environments
✅ Support from Local Governments – Municipalities eager to attract new businesses
This is not just a program; it’s a lifestyle choice that blends opportunity with peace of mind.
