Hi,
One of the employer's requirement is:

Your employer must be permanently established in B.C., as defined by the federal Income Tax Act. Your employer must have operated in B.C. for at least one year.

At the same time at the bottom of this section of the BC PNP Program Guide it states that they are willing to make exceptions:

Other Considerations
At its sole discretion, the BC PNP may consider an application where the supporting employer does not meet the minimum requirements, including but not limited to, considering registered businesses that are regular partnerships or sole proprietorships. However, in order to be considered, the supporting employer must, at the time of application, make a compelling business case in writing to the BC PNP that demonstrates how the nomination will generate significant economic benefits to B.C.


I am wondering if there are some people here for whom the exception was made.

Thanks
