Regional Immigration Collaboration
Last updated: September 10, 2025
The BC PNP's Regional Immigration Collaboration (RIC) is an initiative that supports the economic development strategies of communites outside the Metro Vancouver Regional District through immigration. By participating in the RIC, communities can play an active role in attracting and retaining workers and entrepreneurs wishing to make a smaller B.C. community their home.
Communities interested in learning more about the RIC can contact the BC PNP by email at PNPConcierge@gov.bc.ca.
To learn more, please see the topics below.
As part of the Entrepreneur Immigration Regional Stream, entrepreneurs looking to find the right community that suits their business proposal can refer to the table below to learn the priority sectors of RIC participating communities. These sectors are based in part on the federal government's North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 2022.
