About the BC PNP

The BC PNP aims to draw in foreign employees in high demand in the province and those who want to move to Canada as permanent citizens.

Skills Immigration and Express Entry, the two immigration streams that make up the BC PNP, have subcategories. The B.C.’s Skills Immigration Registration System oversees these streams (SIRS).

How Does the BC PNP Work?

The Canadian economy is primarily "supported & sustained" by the province of British Columbia. The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP), which is managed by the province, is one of the most sought-after Canada Immigration paths for aspiring immigrants from all over the world.

Currently, the BC PNP Manages Two Categories:-

● British Columbia Skills Immigration

● British Columbia Entrepreneur Immigration

Based on the points gained under the BC PNP points calculator, candidates are ranked and evaluated. Age, education, work experience, language proficiency and spouse sponsorships are just a few of the criteria used for determining the points awarded. An Invitation to Apply (ITA) to the BC PNP is sent to the candidates with the highest scores.

How to Receive an ITA?

Invitations, or ITAs, are sent by IRCC to applicants with active Express Entry profiles at the time of the draw. You need to first be eligible for Express Entry in order to get an invitation from the BC PNP or any other provincial immigration programme. You also need to have an active Express Entry pool profile. As long as the province seems to have an immediate need for the occupation, it evaluates and applies the' skill immigration ' categories to the profile.
