Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
On April 5, the British Columbia Nominee Program (BCPNP) held four targeted draws for in-demand workers.
B.C.’s latest targeted PNP draws invited candidates with scores as low as 70. The BCPNP also held a general draw for all other occupations with a higher score requirement.
The latest BCPNP draws prioritized candidates with a job offer as an early childhood educator or in a health-related occupation.
Candidates selected in the latest draws met the criteria for one of the British Columbia Nominee Program’s five Skills Immigration and Express Entry streams,

Candidates that meet the requirements for BC’s Skilled Worker, International Graduate, or Entry Level and Semi-Skilled Worker pathways can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the province.
Once a candidate creates an EOI profile, they are ranked by the province’s Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) and given a “SIRS” score.
The highest-ranking candidates will receive an invitation from BC to apply for nomination.
After receiving an invitation, candidates have 30 days to prepare and submit their online application to the province.
Nominated candidates are then invited to apply to the federal government for Permanent Residence.
