Canadian Skilled Worker/ Business

Subject: Canadian Skilled Worker/ Business Class -Louise
Shipway - David Ingram gives expert income tax immigration help
to non-resident Americans & Canadians from New York to California
to Saudi Arabia to Mexico to China or Chile - Cross border, dual
citizen -
I am a UK citizen and am currently going through the application
process under the skilled worker category which was filed
23/02/2005. I am considering the purchase of a small business in
Vancouver that supports the full time employment of 3 Canadian
citizens and am wondering what effect if any this course of
action would have on my application. Would it void the current
application ? Would I have to make another application under the
investment category and would the whole process start all over
again or will it run concurrent.
Perhaps it would be better to wait until accepted as skilled
worker but am eager not to miss the previously mentioned business
opportunity as these sort of opportunity does not present itself
everyday. Any advice would be appreciated.

I asked an associate, xxxxxx xxxxxxx to reply to this. Her reply
follows:
-------------------
Skilled worker applications through London, UK, are taking
anywhere between 25 to 52 months and federal business
applications from 44 to 63 months; therefore there is nothing to
gain from trying this route.  However, you could try and overlap
your current application with a British Columbia Provincial
Nominee Program (BC PNP) application which could be processed
through London in 4 to 9 months.
A business which supports the full-time employment of 3 Canadian
Citizens may qualify under the BC PNP Regional Business Category.
Eligibility requirements include that the business must create a
minimum of two new jobs, the project must be located outside the
Greater Vancouver Area (defined), the applicant must take an
active management role holding a minimum of 50% equity, with a
minimum net worth of CAD $600,000 and a minimum investment of CAD
$300,000 excluding real estate.
Once you have been approved by the BC PNP your existing
application can essentially be converted to a Provincial Nominee
Class application.  This would require that you pay another set
of federal processing fees.  But you could still save
considerable time in processing.
Once approved by the BC PNP Business Categories you will qualify
for a Work Permit which is valid for two years and allows you to
implement your business plan.  Upon implementation you would be
nominated for permanent residence and your application would be
processed on an expedited basis.
Please advise if you have further questions.
