Provincial Entrepreneur Financial Verification Matrix: Six Current Canadian Pathways (2026)

Correction notice, 3 November 2026. Version 1.3 replaces version 1.2 (10.5281/zenodo.23915720), whose files stay as published. No amount or percentage changed, and no row was added or removed.

What was wrong. Prince Edward Island: the net-worth scope spoke only of the web page, although the row also cites the guide, and the guide's Appendix C addresses the spouse or common-law partner. Manitoba: the rows gave the form's footer date and the guide's cover date but not the different "last updated" dates on the apply page, and left out the form's exclusion of personal items. New Brunswick: the guide link used an older address. The stream page copy of 12 October 2026 links a different address, and the two guide copies list different designated verifiers, which the rows do not name.

What changed in the core file. Prince Edward Island: net_worth_scope. Manitoba: net_worth_scope and source_version_note. New Brunswick: the guide link in official_sources and source_version_note. CSV: a new corrected_date column. JSON: the version; the corrections list for version 1.2 is renamed with its version tag and three missing items are added to it; a new corrections list for version 1.3.

What changed in the investment supplement. British Columbia: phase_or_condition now gives the link to the Base program guide. New Brunswick: official_source. CSV: a new corrected_date column. JSON: the version, the review_provenance wording, the corrections list for version 1.2 renamed with its version tag, and a new corrections list for version 1.3.

What changed in the deposit. The four data files have new names, because their old names carried the old version number. The README is updated. In the metadata, the New Brunswick guide link is replaced, so the list still names the 18 sources used in the rows. A line on reuse terms is added to the end of this description.

What did not change. Every net worth, asset and investment amount and percentage; every verification-provider, verification-trigger, process-state and source-language value; every existing cell in the Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador rows; and the checked_date values.

New Brunswick. On 3 November 2026 New Brunswick's live site showed a security check, which was not bypassed. So the New Brunswick rows were checked that day against public Internet Archive copies, not the live pages: the stream page copy dated 12 October 2026 and the guide copy dated 10 October 2026. No New Brunswick value needed to change.

Limits of this correction. It is not a full re-check of the six pathways. Besides the New Brunswick copies, only the sources behind the corrected wording were re-read for it: the Prince Edward Island guide; the Manitoba apply page, Self-Assessment Form and guide; and the British Columbia Base program guide. Prince Edward Island's Work Permit Stream page showed a security check when this correction was made, so it was not re-read for it, and the new wording about the spouse rests on the guide.

History: the correction notice of version 1.2, copied as published on 3 November 2026. In the text below, "this" and "that day" refer to version 1.2, not to this version.

Correction notice, 3 November 2026. This is the first correction to this dataset. Version 1.2 replaces version 1.1 (10.5281/zenodo.22697619), whose files stay as published.

What was wrong. Newfoundland and Labrador: the core file called the verifier checklist "current" and did not give its January 2019 date or its title for the NLPNP Business Immigration Stream. Manitoba: the core file said the family-asset scope was not expanded, while the Self-Assessment Form it now cites states that scope in one sentence.

What changed in the core file. Newfoundland and Labrador: the source wording and source note give the checklist's date and title, the scope adds the Application Guide (December 2020) wording, the Application Guide is added to the sources, and the limit note says "this core" instead of "v1.0". Manitoba: the scope is replaced, the Self-Assessment Form is added to the sources, and the source note says so. Prince Edward Island: the Net Worth Verification Report and the guide's Appendix C net-worth narrative are added to the named objects, the guide is added to the sources, the source note gives the guide's two dates (cover February 2025, footer effective October 27, 2022), the limit note is reworded, and in the CSV the supporting-source cell no longer repeats the primary URL. British Columbia: the source note on 2026 invitation activity now says "separately checked". All rows: the field minimum_personal_net_worth_cad is renamed minimum_net_worth_or_asset_threshold_cad, because Newfoundland and Labrador's figure is an asset threshold. File level: the version, the professional_review wording, a new corrected_date field and a new corrections list.

What changed in the investment supplement. British Columbia: phase_or_condition now states the timing in the Base program guide, within 610 days of arriving in B.C. on a BC PNP-supported work permit. File level: the version, the review_provenance wording, a new corrected_date field and a new corrections list.

What changed in the deposit. The four data files have new names, because their old names carried old version numbers. A README is added. The list of official sources in the metadata now names all 18 sources used in the rows.

What did not change. Every net worth, asset and investment amount and percentage; every verification-provider, verification-trigger and process-state value; every Alberta and New Brunswick value; and the original checked_date values. No row was added or removed.

Limits of this correction. It is not a full re-check of the six pathways. Only the sources behind the corrected wording were re-read on 3 November 2026: the Newfoundland and Labrador overview, eligibility page, checklist and Application Guide; the Manitoba apply page and Self-Assessment Form; the Prince Edward Island guide; and the British Columbia Base program guide. New Brunswick's official site showed a security check that day, so its rows and its guide link were not re-read and are left as published.

Official-source comparative dataset covering net worth or asset thresholds, minimum business-investment rules and program phase, third-party financial verification, source or accumulation-of-funds language, and named financial forms or reports across six current Canadian provincial entrepreneur immigration pathways. Professional review attribution: Usman Khalil, RCIC R709592 and CPA Ontario C83028834, for the v1.0 core as archived in version 1.1. No separate reviewer sign-off is claimed for the September 9, 2026 investment normalization or for the 3 November 2026 corrections. The dataset preserves program-specific terminology and does not predict selection, nomination, work-permit, permanent-residence or other case outcomes.
