I want to apply for British Columbia’s PNP program by establishing a business in this province. Can I use my assets as collateral to get bank loans for this investment? Is this an acceptable source of funds?

The BC PNP requires that you make the minimum eligible personal investment from your personal funds. However, you may also use external financing from a business partner or financial institutions for investments beyond the minimum
requirement. If external financing is a requirement of business
operations, you must identify how you will obtain the financing and how it will be applied in your proposed investment. BC is currently running two PNPs for entrepreneurs - Base Category and Reginal Pilot.
