BC PNP

British Columbia issued 62 Invitations to Apply (ITA) for immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination in the latest BC PNP Tech Pilot draw which held on 21st July.

The Invitations to apply for a provincial nomination were issued to foreign tech workers and international students through the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP).

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) Tech Pilot is a fast-track immigration pathway for in-demand tech workers and for the international students.

All the Tech Pilot candidates invited by the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) are must require to have a job offer that is at least 1 year (365 days) in duration and must be in one of the pilot’s 29 in-demand occupations.

In this latest draw of 21st July, we saw that the invitations issued to candidates in the Skilled Worker and International Graduate categories of the Express Entry BC (EEBC) and Skills Immigration streams. The selected immigration candidates in all the subcategories needed a minimum provincial score of 80.

The immigration candidates registered under the Express Entry BC categories will be awarded an additional 600 points toward their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) if their provincial nomination application is approved and these points which effectively guarantee an Invitation To Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence in a subsequent federal Express Entry draw.

The rest of the immigration candidates who invited under the Skills Immigration categories will have applications for Canadian permanent residence which is processed directly by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) once a provincial nomination is issued by the province of British Columbia.

Any individual candidate interested in immigrating to British Columbia through the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) categories must begin the process by creating an online BC PNP online profile.

However, only applicants under the Skilled Worker, Entry Level and Semi-Skilled, and International Graduate categories are required to register to the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) to obtain a score.
