Free BC PNP tool · Entrepreneur Immigration

Calculate your B.C. Entrepreneur self-declared score.

Choose Base or Regional, then estimate the self-declared subtotal and the business-concept score still needed for the applicable total threshold.

Base and Regional gridsLast reviewed: August 12, 2026فارسی

Separate entrepreneur calculator

BC Entrepreneur Immigration Calculator

Base and Regional use different grids. This tool calculates the self-declared section; BC PNP assigns the business-concept score after reviewing the proposal.

01Experience and ownership0/24

Overlapping periods cannot be counted twice. Do not claim senior-management time for a business you owned by more than 10% during the same period.

Owner-manager experience in the last 10 yearsSenior-manager experience in the last 10 yearsQualifying 100% business ownership

02Personal net worth0/12

Cash and liquid assetsTotal eligible personal and family net worth

03Economic proposal0/44

Eligible personal investmentProposed full-time-equivalent jobsThe applicant’s and spouse’s positions do not count.Proposed business region

04Adaptability0/40

Lowest CLB across all four abilitiesHighest completed educationA zero score may qualify only through the 100%-ownership management exception.AgeExploratory visit to B.C.At least 12 months of authorized Canadian work, business or study

The calculator does not guess the business-concept score

BC PNP assesses commercial viability, transferability of skills and economic benefits for up to 80 points. Base requires at least 40/80 for the business concept and at least 115 overall.

Guide & source

Calculate the score, then check the complete requirements.

The calculator applies the public scoring grid only. Stream, employer, occupation, document and current-priority requirements must still be reviewed separately.
