The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) has conducted a new draw. This was the first invitation round conducted by the province in October. Last month, BC conducted four Skills Immigration draws and one Entrepreneur Immigration draw.

If you have been invited to this latest BC PNP draw, you will have 30 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence (PR) to the BC PNP. If this timeframe passes, your invitation will no longer be valid.

BC PNP Skills Immigration Draws

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) Skills Immigration Draws are an essential pathway designed for skilled workers to obtain permanent residency in Canada. These draws happen regularly and invite candidates with specific skills and experience to apply for nomination by the province of British Columbia.

To participate, candidates must first register with the BC PNP and create a profile showcasing their qualifications, work experience, and language abilities. The BC PNP then uses a points-based system (BC PNP points calculator) to rank applicants, considering factors such as job offer, education, and skills. During the draws, the province issues invitations to those with the highest scores, allowing them to apply for a provincial nomination.

The BC PNP Skills Immigration category is particularly focused on attracting talent in high-demand occupations, including technology, healthcare, and skilled trades. This program not only helps fill labour shortages in British Columbia but also supports newcomers in establishing their careers and lives in Canada.
