Vancouver is a popular immigration destination for South and East Asia. BC Statistics reports that 14 percent of economic class immigrants come from the region; but if we look in the corporate landscape of BC, this community is not a big presence. Why?
Of course, it is a struggle for everyone is to start a new business, especially in a new country; but one of the most important things that this part of the population lacks awareness of the government's finances programs that begin to help their business there.
declared in an interview with Business in Vancouver Ankit Sharma, founder of Kitply Industries ", many immigrants come from countries where there is not much support from the government. So they do not think inherently by the Canadian government to be supported small businesses ".
But Canada is among the top five places in the world, ranked to start a business. Why? Because government funded programs like Small Business BC and Provincial Nominee Program offer entrepreneurial immigrants with the information and support they need. While there are many programs that provide support start-up companies, not would be any entrepreneurial immigrants advantageous each program, due to language barriers and differences of business understanding in the new country. Because of these barriers, this niche group must support from the community, efficiently integrate them into the Canadian economy, to understand their views.
The strength of the BIIS is this niche group of entrepreneurs immigrants in targeting where English is not their native language and not from Canada. BIIS has multilingual business case councils who understands the immigrant culture, provides business support in their native language and integrates its settlement process with their business directions.
