  • Skills Immigration 

The candidates were invited under the following sub-streams:

 

  • Skilled Worker
  • International Graduate

  • C.’s Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS)

 

Applicants who received a call for participation, now have up to 30 calendar days from the date of invitation to submit an entire application via the BC PNP Online registration system.
To be considered under the BC PNP, most candidates must have an indeterminate, full-time job offer from an employer within the province who is willing to support them through the appliance process.
Express Entry is the federal government’s application management system. Express Entry candidates are given points that supported human capital factors like age, work experience, education, and language proficiency in English or French.
Express Entry candidates with a provincial nomination receive a further 600 points toward their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score.
