Successful applicants

When Ms. N.T.B applied for Canadian residency through the BC Pilot program, the number of applications had reached an overwhelming level. However, thanks to SI Group’s solution, she successfully immigrated to Canada.

Situation

Ms. N.T.B is a successful businesswoman in the wood and furniture industry. Her goal was to secure long-term residency in Canada so her children could access the country’s top-tier education system. She chose the BC Pilot program, with the family’s plan for her eldest son to attend the prestigious University of British Columbia (UBC).

UBC is ranked among the top 50 and top 30 universities globally by rankings such as QS World University Rankings, Times Higher Education World University Rankings, and the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU).

Challenges with the BC Pilot Program

The BC Pilot program is highly attractive due to its lower investment requirement compared to other Canadian programs. It offers families the chance to settle in Canada for five years. However, this also caused a rapid increase in the number of applicants, creating a highly competitive environment.

Before approaching SI Group, Ms. N.T.B had consulted with several agencies, but none could guarantee success due to the fierce competition. This affected the projected processing time, which was expected to take around two years, causing the family to worry that this would delay their plans, including their children’s education.

SI Group’s Solution

After listening to Ms. N.T.B’s aspirations, the SI Group team quickly reviewed the Canadian immigration application status. We assessed the client’s needs and conditions to find the best solution for her family.

In addition to trying to speed up the BC Pilot application, SI Group also proposed an alternative solution: switching to the Provincial Entrepreneur Program of Prince Edward Island (PEI).

Why PEI Was the Ideal Fit for Ms. N.T.B

The PEI program has many similar or even simpler requirements than the BC Pilot and is less competitive. Moreover, SI Group has advanced experience in handling PEI applications, allowing us to confidently guarantee both success and timely processing for Ms. N.T.B’s family.

The only concern was the requirement to sign a 2-year employment contract with a PEI employer after settling. However, SI Group clarified that this condition only applies to the primary applicant, meaning Ms. N.T.B’s children would still be free to live and study in other regions of Canada.

Additionally, PEI offers a well-developed living and working environment, with direct daily flights to major Canadian cities. The province also boasts a vibrant Vietnamese community, particularly in Charlottetown, helping newcomers integrate quickly.

After weighing the options, Ms. N.T.B decided to proceed with SI Group through the PEI program.

The Journey and Results

Given Ms. N.T.B’s conditions and SI Group’s extensive experience with PEI applications, we confidently prepared the family’s visa application.

Our team swiftly gathered the necessary documents and completed all the required procedures. In just 7 months, we successfully secured legal immigration permits for Ms. N.T.B and her family. Not only did they move to Canada much earlier than expected, but the client was also pleased with the reasonable investment cost, which saved her one-third of the original budget.

Currently, SI Group is assisting in finding and settling the family’s residence and completing enrollment procedures at the University of British Columbia, fulfilling the family’s wishes. Achieving success and meeting deadlines with Ms. N.T.B’s complete satisfaction is a source of pride for us.
