If you’ve been invited in this draw, you will have 30 days to submit a complete application via BCPNP’s online portal. You must apply before your nomination expires. If the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) approves your application, you will be issued a nomination package - which you can use to apply for Canada PR visa.

The BC PNP conducts draws regularly, typically every week. These draws invite candidates from various streams, such as the Skills Immigration and Express Entry BC streams, to apply for provincial nomination for permanent residence. However, the frequency and exact schedule of the draws can vary based on the province's economic needs and immigration targets.

The next British Columbia PNP draw is projected to be conducted on 11 June 2024. The number of invitations, minimum score, and draw-type is determined by the BC PNP. The information is not published beforehand.

Invitations are targeted to align with B.C. government priorities, such as supporting specific business sectors, promoting regional immigration, and facilitating strategic pilot projects. The number of invitations issued and the frequency of ITA draws for all streams are carefully managed to uphold standard processing times for all applicants and to support B.C.'s priorities.

In 2023, British Columbia emphasised attracting skilled workers and international graduates. Coming into 2024, Its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to diversity continue to make it a compelling choice for individuals seeking to immigrate to Canada this year.
