• Skills Immigration - Intended for skilled workers, healthcare professionals, international graduates and other qualified individuals who have the skills and experience needed to support British Columbia's labour market.
• Entrepreneur Immigration - Designed for experienced entrepreneurs who wish to establish, acquire or actively manage a business that contributes to the economic growth and development of British Columbia.

Each pathway has its own eligibility requirements and selection criteria, allowing applicants to choose the option that best matches their qualifications, experience and immigration goals.
