British Columbia

British Columbia (B.C) Tech Pilot draw issues 57 invitations in the latest draw which held on 7th July 2020.

British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) Tech Pilot was launched in the year 2017 to assist employers in attracting potential immigrants in the Information Technology (IT) sector and to facilitate the immigration process for the foreign tech workers and for the international students. In this latest draw, BC issues Invitations to apply for a provincial nomination to foreign tech workers and international students through the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP).

British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) issues weekly Tech Pilot invitations to the eligible immigration candidates with a valid 1-year job offer in one of the program’s specified occupations and the job offer must also have at least 120 days remaining at the time of application.

In this latest draw of July 7, we saw the invitations issued to immigration 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 the minimum provincial score of 80.

The Express Entry candidates who receive a nomination from British Columbia will be awarded an additional 600 points toward their Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. This CRS score is effectively guaranteed an Invitation To Apply (ITA) in future federal draws.

In order to be evaluated for immigration to British Columbia through the Skilled Worker and International Graduate categories, the individual candidate must first create a profile through the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) online portal and register under the program’s Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS).
