When approved, your company must:

• make a minimum equity investment of at least $500,000 to establish or purchase and expand an eligible business.
• create at least three new jobs for Canadians or permanent residents for each key staff member proposed.
• establish or purchase and expand a company in B.C. that is incorporated or federally incorporated and registered in another province.
