Business plans for Canada's entrepreneur immigration programs Draft

An entrepreneur immigration program asks one thing above all: will this business work in this province, and will you run it? The business plan is where you answer. It is read by an officer, and in some programs, such as the BC PNP and Nova Scotia, you may be interviewed about it.

Wealth Theory writes those plans. We are a Vancouver business planning firm. Since 2019 we have prepared 357 business plans, and we have worked with 22 immigration firms, consultants and lawyers. Our founders have written business plans and worked in business, government policy and immigration since 2012.

We do not give immigration advice or represent clients. We work alongside the consultant or lawyer you have chosen, or we can work with you directly if you are still deciding.

Programs we write business plans for

Each program has its own rules, its own scoring and its own idea of a good business. A plan written for one does not transfer cleanly to another.

BC PNP Entrepreneur Immigration

Our most requested program. The Base and Regional streams are open and invite candidates from a registration pool; the most recent invitation round on the BC PNP site was on October 20, 2026. Read what a BC PNP business plan must contain, and try our free Base and Regional points calculators.

Alberta entrepreneur streams

At the time of our last review, the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program was accepting expressions of interest under the Rural Entrepreneur, Graduate Entrepreneur and Foreign Graduate Entrepreneur streams. Each asks for a business proposal or plan at a different stage.

Nova Scotia and New Brunswick

The Nova Scotia Nominee Program’s Entrepreneur stream is by invitation only, after an online expression of interest, and requires a Business Establishment Plan. The New Brunswick Business Immigration stream (which replaced the Entrepreneurial stream) asks for a business plan with the expression of interest.

Work-permit business plans

Some work permits also rely on a business plan, including intra-company transfers to set up a new Canadian office (which carry strict conditions on the foreign company) and the C11 category for business owners seeking temporary residence only. These are not routes to permanent residence on their own.

We do not write plans for programs that are closed or paused. Program status changes, so confirm it with your representative and the official site before you commit. Last reviewed: 2026-11-08.

How we work

1. Consultation. Book a free consultation. We learn about the business, the program your representative has in mind and where the plan stands.
2. Research and writing. We research the market, build the financial model and write the plan to the program’s published requirements.
3. Review with you. You and your representative read the plan. Everything is explained until it is yours.
4. Interview preparation. We walk you through your own plan, in your language, so you can explain and defend it. See business plan interview preparation.
