The Provincial Nominee Program calls for candidates of immigration who want to seek a PR in Canada on 25 January.
There have been two draws via BC PNP that invited candidates Skills Immigration and British Columbia Express Entry streams.
A heavy proportion of the invitations that were sent were 264 in a general draw. The candidates got invitations and then met a score requirement that was around 77 and 114 that depended upon the program for which they were required.
For different draws, the candidates who were aimed and also their occupation that was in-between the National Occupation required list called for people who had a minimum score of 114 on the board.
Last year February, the province of British Columbia held a round of separate draws of invitation any two days per month as a part of the Provincial Nominee Program. There are labor market sectors that have a very high number of candidates and are also named under the SIRS in the provincial Skills category.
British Columbia Provincial Nominee program
The province of British Columbia has aimed to call for international skilled workers that are in excess demand in the province of British Columbia.
There are two main systems of immigration that are sub-categorized. They are operated by British Columbia SIRS. For this, you will have to apply. Register an account and get a score assigned to yourself that will be based on factors such as employment experience, language proficiency
The BC PNP aims to attract foreign workers who are needed the most by the economy of the province and they also offer them to stay in the region for a long time as permanent residents of Canada.
All the sub-categories are taken into consideration and the candidate who scores the highest gets an invitation to apply for a provincial nominee program. If the candidate gets an invitation there are 30 days that is due to submit an application that is complete via the online system of BC PNP.
Once the provincial nomination becomes successful, IRCC will allow the candidate to apply for the status of Canadian PR. But before this, the package of application for the BC PNP needs to be submitted and the decision for the province shall be notified to the candidate in two to three months at max.
PNP has a validity for 6 months from the confirmation date.
As a candidate for a PNP, there is an extra 600 CRS score that will be more than enough to get an ITA in the coming draw of Express Entry.
