British Columbia has released the results of the latest
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) invitational draw held last week. British
Columbia's PNP Invitational draws are typically held weekly, making it one of
the most frequent PNP draws in Canada.
The final round of invitations to the British Columbia
Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) took place on June 7. More than 141
candidates received invitations to run as provincial candidates. That's less
than the 167 invites on May 31.
To be eligible for BC nomination, candidates must meet the
requirements of BC or one of the skilled immigration categories administered
through the Skills and Immigration Registration System (SIRS).
Minimum score between 60 to 85.
Invitations to this draw have been sent to
candidates in the Skilled Worker, International Graduate and Entry-Level and
Self-Qualifying subcategories and require a provincial minimum score between 60
and 85, depending on the stream.
The province has recently recruited candidates for
specific occupations to meet growing workforce demands in specific industries.
This week, the province invites:
· 125 technical jobs with at least 85 points;
· 16 early childhood educators (NOC 4214) with a
minimum score of 60;
· Fewer than 5 health professions with a score of
at least 60.
The
Provincial Nominee Program
Canadian provinces and
territories (except Quebec and Nunavut) operate their own PNPs. Although unlike
permanent residence, a provincial nomination can significantly increase your
chances of permanent residence with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada (IRCC). Canada has more than 80 PNPs through which potential candidates
can obtain permanent residency. This can be done by applying directly to the
province or through the Express Entry profile.
Additionally, candidates
with an Express Entry profile can receive a provincial nomination and add 600
points to their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. A high CRS score may
increase your chances of receiving an IRCC Invitation to Apply (ITA). You may
also be invited to apply for specific PNP invitation rounds.
In the latest Express Entry draw on June 8, Canada invited
932 PNP candidates with a CRS score of at least 796. This is the largest PNP
draw since Canada invited 1,047 PNP candidates on March 2.
